Hyperdrive is a futuristic racing video game made by Midway Games and released in arcades in 1998.[2] Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, and PlayStation ports were planned but were cancelled.[citation needed]
Gameplay
Players race high-tech ships through race tracks stationed in outer space.[3] The lower the ships hover in relation to the track, the faster they go.[3] Ships can also pass other racers by flying above or below them.[4]
There are three tracks to race on and four different ships available.[citation needed]
Development
Hyperdrive uses the same 3Dfx-based board as Midway's earlier game NFL Blitz, but with a faster processor.[3]
The arcade version of the 1999 game Hydro Thunder utilizes the same basic cabinet as Hyperdrive.
