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]

There are three tracks to race on and four different ships available.

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.
