-: SPACE SHOOTERS NEVER DIE :-
1993 is a testament to that, honoring classics like Life Force,
R-Type and Xenon II. We're keeping the genre alive.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

1993 S.M was made in 1993. It is not made to look retro.
It is not polished for today's tech - this is the genuine thing! 
It's 1993 - Today! (Further updated in 2020!)

IN SHORT:

  • 9 Ships to choose from
  • 25 Different weapons with 3 power levels
  • 14 Levels
  • 10 Different Bosses
  • co-up

Started in the age of the Amiga 500, this game was
featured in Amiga format and Commodore User
- two of the largest gaming magazines of the time.
A series of unfortunate events prevented this space
shooter to get finished. We plan to do that now!

- : GAME STORY : -
"Towards the end of the interstellar wars, chaos spread
and one band of elite mercenaries acted more like pirates
and looters than actual soldiers. The leader of this group
was the notorious and infamous Colonel Nestor.

Without a doubt the biggest prize of their looting campaigns
was the Spacemachine: a device designed to terraform barren
planets and making them habitable. With this device, and the rest
of their treasure, Nestor and his men started to build an army
that now poses a great threat to the known star systems.

Mission: Bring back the Space Machine."

Cool game. 

I'd like to be able to change the control sensitivity. Upgrading the small ships makes navigating traps much harder due to the insane speed.

A lot of things here remind me of Jets'N'Guns.

I quite enjoyed this game!

Bought, but it says "trial version" in the lower-right corner.

Hello! I can assure you this is in name only as I assume you can access the full game? We are going to get a build up without the ''trial version'' text soon! But if you do not have full access (Be able to choose all levels, upgrade etc) Please get back to us and we will look into it!

Wow, this feels like I'm playing a lost Amiga game. I love it

I have just been informed that it basically is a lost Amiga game, lol. Anyway, great game!

Glad that you like it! :)

Is there a way to rebind controls? I find x and c being the buttons to rotate awkward, ans Z and X would work better.

Hello!

As of now there is no way to do that sadly but will forward the request to the devs and see what we can do :)

It's especially annoying on a QWERTZ keyboard... ;)

Fortunately, that means the game reads keyboard characters, not keyboard scan codes! As a temporary workaround you can just create a different keyboard layout!

Just google "Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator (MSKLC)", which is an official free tool from Microsoft.

Is this an updated version, or just unreleased until now?

Yes this is the latest version :)
