  • Borrowed Designs - 23 November 2022
  • Pixel Art or Retro Style - 1 April 2022

    Initially pixel art was the only game in town. Now it has become a deliberate design choice. Some time ago I tried to explain the art style of our space shooter 1993 Space Machine to a new artist that would help us out with some additions to the game. As I explained our way of working to him I realized that people today that are making pixelated retro graphics have a different approach to it then what we had. In 1993 we were doing our best to hide the technical limitations of the time, but today that is embraced as part of the charm and style. So the limitations back then shaped our style, just like the now popular retro pixel style, but for completely opposite reasons. Rough or smooth? The screen resolution of 320x256 pixels presented a challenge in getting graphics to look smooth. We spent lots and lots of time on 'anti aliasing', or smoothing out the edges, of our art. However, this…

  • 1993 Space Machine Soundtrack Released! - 25 November 2021

    As many reviews and comments have shown their appreciation for the music in this game we wanted to make it available on its own as well. Any true fan of the game will undoubtedly have had any of the several songs on repeat in their head rent-free, but who really wants to boot up the game just to get earwormed? Done in Sountracker on the Amiga in 1992 with only four channels! Here's how it looked.

  • Ships Stats & Performance - 23 May 2016

    We just wanted to clarify the workings of the smaller ships available in the game shop. Yes they behave all the same and purely look different. This is because they were mainly made for local co-op mode to distinguish each player from one another. However, we thought it would be a shame not to offer the option to choose which one you prefer even in single player. The class II ships though, they do behave differently from each other. We have realized that this has caused some confusion and apparently failed in communicating this clearly in the game.

Short description

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.

About this game

Join our Discord! Just Updated New update out now! New Level - Play the previously hidden level “Test Lab”. Rookie mode Improved Balancing/Player Experience Improved Level Structure Improved Boss difficulty and Attack Patterns Updated Weapons More Weapon Options in CO-OP Mode Razer Chroma Lighting Effects About the Game 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!) What reviewers say: Holy moly! I'm in! I'm sold! This is a freaking phenomenal game. 8-Bit Eric *I am so dead chuffed with this game. Jamie from the Games Shed *1993 Shenandoah has that same level of addictive quality in design and execution. Elliot Ossange - Bonusstage *I absolutely love this game! It is soo charming! Jamie from the Games Shed *The enemy is varied and vast, coming in many flavours and types. There are basically everything and anything you can think of. Elliot Ossange - Bonusstage *This is an absolute gem! I really really recommend this! Jamie from the Games Shed *I can’t recommend 1993 Shenandoah enough. The aesthetics of the design, the levels... Elliot Ossange - Bonusstage *I'm definitely digging the hell out of this game. 8-Bit Eric You're in charge! Explore and secure the different worlds in the order that fits your taste and urge. The kick ass weapon system lets you unlock weapons for use in later play sessions. We feature both classic powerful weapons plus some fresh smart weapons. Of almost 100 deadly enemy types, we have crafted unique evil behaviours for most of them. As an extra game mechanic we have introduced a new health and shield system for more interesting game play. Up to four player co-op mode. In short: 9 Ships to choose from 25 Different weapons with 3 power levels 14 Levels 10 Different Bosses ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 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 even…

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $11.99
  • Highest observed: $11.99

1993 Space Machine's USD price history spans from Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $11.99, the highest is $11.99, and the first visible tracked price is $11.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

1993 Space Machine's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $11.99, from Sep 23, 2026 through Sep 23, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $11.99. The latest run records $11.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $11.99
  • Current list price: $11.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records 1993 Space Machine at $11.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
