{"product_id":"warpspeed-snes","title":"WarpSpeed - for SNES","description":"\u003cp\u003eWarpSpeed is a space combat game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, developed and published by Accolade in 1992. It sits between flight simulator and shooter, and its selling point was the view: three dimensional graphics and a cockpit perspective that put you close enough to the fighting that, as Accolade cheerfully promised, your eyebrows may get fried. You are the bad dude of deep space, flying a hyper fast and heavily armed Starfighter against an alien horde that fully intends to burn Earth to a crisp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarpSpeed is played from inside the cockpit, with your instruments and your targets in front of you and open space in every direction. Missions send you out against swarming enemy formations, and success comes from managing speed, weapons and your own position rather than simply holding down fire. The armada comes at you in numbers, so picking off stragglers and keeping your fighter in one piece matters as much as aggression. It is a single player game built around short sorties and the pressure of a defense with nobody else standing behind it. Accolade said it best: in your face combat against a swarming alien armada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlayers keep a soft spot for WarpSpeed because of what it set out to do. Space combat simulators were largely a home computer genre, and seeing one running on a Super Nintendo with a full cockpit view still carries a certain novelty. The writing on the box is half the fun as well, a small and perfect time capsule of early nineties attitude. For collectors, WarpSpeed is an early Accolade release on the console and a good representative of that brief period when every publisher wanted to prove it could do three dimensional graphics on cartridge hardware. An easy one to recommend to anyone who likes their science fiction loud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Space Combat Shooter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e NTSC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1992\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeveloper:\u003c\/strong\u003e Accolade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge Only: No Box or Manual\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease note that this listing is for the \u003cstrong\u003egame cartridge only\u003c\/strong\u003e.
