Цель игры состоит в том, чтобы найти подходящий дом для человечества, после того как люди сделали Землю необитаемой. Вы управляете космически кораблём с разнообразным оружием и по пути встречайте инопланетян, с которыми можно заключить дружеский союз или разнести их ко всем чертям. В конце пути находите подходящую планету.
Not a very bad game but it is 25 years old and it shows. The graphics are old but mostly the gameplay is really outdated. Buy in a bundle at very low prce.
Very old space ship simulator. You definitely need to read the manual and some guides to play this. Funny, it has the original DRM, so you need to find a specific word in the manual, like old times :D. It was a truly great experience, because I just pirated old games shhhh.... :D
ИГРАТЬ МНЕ НИКОГДА НЕ НАДОЕДАЕТ И УЖ ТОЧНО НИКОГДА НЕ НАДОЕСТ...ЧТО ДЕЛАТЬ В ЭТОЙ ЖИЗНИ БЕЗ ВИДЕОИГР!?
This game does not work. It runs for 3 minutes before it has a fatal error and closes itself. I got no help from anyone at Steam or the developer of the game, when all I wanted was my money back. I do not recommend this game to anyone.
The vast emptiness of space.... Maybe I went the wrong way... then I couldn’t figure out how to quit. Rebooted the whole machine. LOL. The visuals look cool because I've been listening to too much vaporwave.
I used to play this game when it was new so I tried the steam download. Very frustrating that it will freeze ( windows 11) and does not run reliably on Windows 11 regardless of the DOS emulator tried.
By far one of my favorite DOS games from my youth. I have dumped countless hours into this game in the past and just had to have it when I stumbled upon it on Steam.
Y'all, this game holds up pretty well. I would say, this game, Ultima VI, and Gunship 2000 were the best games of of 1990/91. The graphics are, of course, from 35 years ago, but Hyperspeed is surprisingly playable and complex. Some of my appreciation is nostalgic, sure, but that could only keep me interested for half an hour or so if it wasn't good. It works well in DOSbox, but you do have to locate a PDF of the manual online, which is easy, and use it to get past the digital rights management (DRM) challenge question. You can simply hit 'enter' and bypass it, but the game will lock after a few actions. If you complete the DRM, which is easy with the manual, it should work fine. The manual is over 100 pages and illustrates the amount of work that went into the game. It explains all of the game mechanics, but frustratingly doesn't include a simple list of key commands that you have to use, so here are the more important ones for your reference: "+" "-" Increas/Decrease speed "space bar" Blaster cockpit "F" Launch fighter "G" Launch guided missile "K" Launch Kamikaze "R" Return chassis (Fighter) "E" Engine Room (Esc to return to main cockpit) "N" Navigation Map "<" ">" cycle through star systems in the Navigation Map "H" to select home base station in the Navigation Map "S" engage the Spin Drive "P" launch probe to talk to aliens Alt/"G" Save game Alt/"L" Load saved game These will get you started, but I recommend reading through the first 5 parts of the manual. Finally, the game was designed to be played with a joystick. I use a playstation game controller, which works well. I find that the game is unplayable with just a mouse and keyboard. If you played this game back in the day, and like me, you want to revisit it, or if you played PC games then but missed this one, it's worth a few bucks in my opinion. Have fun! Edit: The manual is included under "Additional Content."
Tags: Tactical - Space Crew Sim Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Oozing with retro charm, nice 3D polygon ships for the era. Seems fairly fully featured with combat, and exploration. Too dated for new users. Paper DRM. Input feels off. Would rather try Elite Dangerous. It received quite a bit of criticism for its lack of lore, and focus on grinding towards Elite Status and being a tad on the empty side. But compared to something like Hyperspeed the newer engine, attention to ease of use and better input recognition than an old classic like hyperspeed seem worth the trade of. Would rather archive this dosbox freelancer so as to give more reliably entertaining game a greater visibility. https://store.steampowered.com/app/359320/Elite_Dangerous/
