Star Dust Wars: Director's Cut

Overview

Electric Black Sheep proudly presents 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. 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 Humanoids Media and thrilling War Drum beats by Amaksi originates from freely available sources, adding an epic backdrop to the action.

Dive into Star Dust Wars and relive the magic of the arcade era, redefined for today.

Released on November 30, 2024, this tribute celebrates the enduring legacy of a universe that defined a generation.

Technical:

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.

The game is for AMIGA only! It's streaming a lot of content from HDD! So you need to have one with a good reading speed for a good performance.

Game:

- You can Start the Game with two modes (two icons). The second one gives the game a little extra effect by tilting the screen.

- On the Main screen, you can choose MUSIC ON/OFF by push the JOY (UP-DOWN).

You can Choose the Level you already completed (the progress is automatically saved) by pushing the JOY (LEFT-RIGHT) and press FIRE.

- Control with JOY or MOUSE.

- SHOOT enemies to gain SHIELD

-HAVE FUN! :)

EHB Version with HAM cutscenes:

For public suggestion, we tried to make a more colorful version. WARNING! This is a version that has more color, but because of that it is lager in size and need an even faster HDD than originally. For these reasons, we recommend the minimum requirements for this version is to run it on a Vampire. The zip files contains a pre-configured (WinFellow) emulator, with that you can instantly play it on Windows.

Anaglyph 3D version:

Just for fun, we made an Anaglyph stereo version of the trench run level! (This is just one level) This means that if you have RED-BLUE glasses, you can play the game in 3D (at least you will have the illusion of depth on the screen).
