Full Throttle, also known as Top Speed, is a one-player racing arcade game developed by Taito in 1987. It is very similar in style to the Out Run games in that it features a fast, red car hurtling through the U.S. countryside. The key difference in gameplay is the addition of a nitro boost button.[1]
Trivia
- The car featured is a red Mazda RX-7.
- Director Hiroyuki Sakou went on to create Taito's Operation Thunderbolt a year later.
- This game was the forerunner of the Taito Z system on which Taito's driving games were based from 1988-91.
- Some of the billboards in Full Throttle/Top Speed are plugs for other Taito games such as Operation Wolf and Plump Pop
- One of the billboards in Full Throttle/Top Speed features two detectives who are obvious references to Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs from Miami Vice. Taito would release the similar Chase H.Q. the following year, which also featured Miami Vice-esque detectives.
