Description

Hyperspeed is a space sim designed by Gunship 2000 and F-15 Strike Eagle III designer Andy Hollis. Together with its 1991 prequel, "Lightspeed", the game makes up a great space exploration adventure in the style of Elite.

Remarkable are the fluent animations of the ship and its unique depth of play.

Trivia

Hyperspeed shares something with Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. Specifically, they both have the same theme song. It seems (to me, at least) that Jeffrey L. Briggs, who did musical work on Hyperspeed (and many other Microprose games), and was the Executive Producer and one of two people who did the soundtrack for Alpha Centauri, remixed the Hyperspeed theme song for SMAC's main menu (why he did this, I do not know). Anyway, I guess good game music never dies. It just gets recycled. ;)
