After Death Race, the majority of AGCI's team started working on Shockwave while Keith Rupp started working on Warp Space. Although Shockwave was produced in a matter of six weeks, it was one of the best American Game Cartridges titles.
After the release of Shockwave, American Game Cartridges began having financial troubles. Nintendo began using ill-tactics forcing toy stores to quite selling unlicensed Nintendo games. If companies such as Toys R Us continued selling the unlicensed product, Nintendo would refuse to sell the licensed products. Since Nintendo products made up over 1/2 of the sales, these stores had no choice but to stop dealing with the unlicensed American companies.
After Shock Wave's release, some of the programming team began to work on Wally Bear and the No! Gang.
