Star Dust Wars – Have an Amiga and love Star Wars? Then check this game out!
I have another banger of an Amiga game for you all, as thanks to a heads up from a good friend of ours, we have been told that Electric Black Sheep, who was also behind games such as None of Us, Drag and Drop, Project Horizon Engine and Dual, has released the Arcade blaster of ‘Star Dust Wars’. A fan-made homage to the legendary Star Wars arcade game that captured the imagination of players worldwide back in 1987-88. To coincide with this news, Saberman has provided some footage of the game in action.
Here’s the latest from the website. “This space shooter reimagines the beloved original in what we believe is a more visually stunning environment, combining nostalgic gameplay with modern creative touches. Created purely for the love of the classic and not for profit, Star Dust Wars offers a unique experience with custom-designed graphics and animations. While the sounds may echo familiar tones from a galaxy far, far away, the music – including Star Wars-inspired tracks by Humanoide Media and thrilling War Drum beats by Amaksi originates from freely available sources, adding an epic backdrop to the action. Released on November 30, 2024, this tribute celebrates the enduring legacy of a universe that defined a generation”.
Dev Notes : “We don’t think that when AMOS was developed, they would have thought that we would use it to implement something like this. A simple FMV game that requires resources, but don’t let anyone think it’s magic. It’s rare to see a similar game on the Amiga, so we thought it was worth a try.”
