Full Throttle, also known as Top Speed outside Japan, is a one-player racing arcade game developed by Taito in 1987. It is similar in style to the Out Run games in that it features a fast, red car hurtling through the US countryside. The key difference in gameplay is the addition of a nitro boost button. The game was released under the title Full Throttle in Japan, Top Speed in North America, and both Full Throttle and Top Speed in Europe.
