- TRIVIA -

Full Throttle was released in October 1987 in Japan. It was known outside Japan as "Top Speed".

This game is Taito's response to Sega's "Out Run". This game was the forerunner of the Taito Z system on which Taito's driving games were based from 1988-91 (You can spot some similarities with "Continental Circus", the first of the Taito Z games).

The car featured is a red Mazda RX-7.
