Defunct Games reviews 1993 Space Machine, available now on Steam. This is a 2D shooter that was supposed to be released 23 years ago, but fate got in the way. Freshly unearthed, find out if it has been worth the wait.
Space shooters never die. 1993 is a testament to that. 1993 is a classic shoot em up celebrating games like Gradius, R-Type, and Life Force.
The latest Humble Monthly bundle has come out for May, and within it for subscribers is Mad Max, Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty, Galak-Z, and a notable crop of retro-inspired games, among other things. Whether you like multiplayer dungeon crawlers or point-and-click adventure games, this month's offerings look like another eclectic bunch for everyone.
Space Machine was developed in the bedroom of Krister Karlsson 23 years ago, but it never actually released. Back in 1993, Karlsson and his mates had planned to release the game on the Amiga but due to difficulties within the team (probably homework duties and taking the bins out for mum) the game was never released, even though it was finished.
