About The Game
Top Speed is a chase-view driving arcade video game which is very similar to "Out Run", except for the addition of the nitro boost button. The car featured is a red Mazda RX-7.
Trivia
Released in October 1987.
Licensed to Romstar for US manufacture and distribution.
This game is known in Japan as "Full Throttle".
Top Speed 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).
A Top Speed unit appears in the 1989 film "The Wizard" (though it was erroneously referred to as Capcom's "F-1 Dream" in the film).
Pony Canyon / Scitron released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (The Ninja Warriors : G.S.M. Taito 1 - D28B0001) on 21/06/1988.
Zuntata Records released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Zuntata History L'ab-normal 1st - ZTTL-0038) on 01/04/1999.
