Babylonian Twins: game built in Iraq 16 years ago finally about to be released

Background story: this game was built for the Amiga by my friend, Rabah, when we were in college in Iraq. He brought together a team of a graphics designer and a music composer and they built an amazing product, but they couldn't sell it due to the economic sanctions on Iraq at the time. Then the Amiga just died after that and the game basically went no where. It was a sad story of a dream that didn't materialize. But now after all these years, Rabah brought the team back together along with new members to port it to the iPhone.

Wow, the game says "Babylon" in some many ways. If you heard 1.5 seconds of the sound track you would immediately know it's from Iraq.

Are there any plans to release this game for other smartphone platforms, such as Android?

<i>For those unaware, the Amiga was an extremely innovative platform, released in 1985 by Commodore, that saw rather limited success outside of Europe.</i><p>The Amiga was a big deal in Canada. I doubt this statement is true.

I guess I can say that's a game with history about history :)
