Babylonian Twins 
A puzzle-platform odyssey through ancient Mesopotamia. Switch between the twin princes Nasir & Blasir to drill, dash and outwit the curse that has fallen on Babylon.
A computer-engineering student named Rabah Shihab sat at an Amiga 500 with half a megabyte of RAM and no hard drive — and wrote, in pure machine code, what would become the first commercial-quality video game ever made in Iraq.
Half a megabyte of memory and a city under embargo. What we had in abundance was time — and a story worth telling.
The city was under embargo. Parts were scarce, manuals were photocopies, and every byte had to be earned. Over long nights the twin princes took shape — hand-drawn, frame by frame — climbing ziggurats and vaulting across a Babylon rendered from memory and old photographs.
Sixteen years later the game was restored and re-released to a new generation — reaching over two million players around the world. In 2026 it returns again, rebuilt in a modern engine, faithful to every jump and secret of the original.
Explore the 1993 Amiga originalNasir and Blasir move as one. Tap to hand the adventure from brother to brother — each has the strength the other lacks.
Every room is a two-body puzzle. Switch twins in a single tap — the levels are built for both of them at once.
From the dungeons beneath the city to the summit of the great tower — each world hand-drawn, layered and full of hidden rooms.
Lion-friezes and lamassu guard the tan halls of Ashur. Vaults and false walls hide the first treasures.
Torch-lit stone, rushing water and a friend to free from behind the bars.
The blue-glazed boulevard of the Ishtar Gate — crowds, guards and daisies of gold.
Up the ziggurat, ring by ring, toward the sky and the heart of the curse.
Floating islands, waterfalls and palms above the clouds — the seventh wonder, alive.
The 2026 edition keeps every jump of the original and adds the comfort of a modern game.
A fully customizable on-screen D-pad — drag it, resize it, place every button exactly where your thumbs want it. Full gamepad and Steam Input support too, so it plays right on a phone, a tablet, or a TV.

The first video game made in Iraq now speaks eleven languages — with full right-to-left Arabic, the language it was born in.
A well-preserved artefact — resembling a cross between Aladdin and Prince of Persia.
A beautifully restored example of how games used to be — sprawling, multi-layered levels that require an orderly, methodical approach.
A puzzle/platformer milestone, sixteen years in the making — attended to with the utmost care.
It gives over a million users around the world a better understanding of Iraq’s past — and, one hopes, a connection to its current struggles to preserve its history.
Free to start on mobile. One story, wherever you play it.
