Of course, that also makes me think about whether you'd ever do a home port comparison, since OutRun was ported to damn near everything at the time. (I did play OutRun 2 in a British seaside arcade once, though - pretty damn fun, and encouraged me to grab the home versions.) (I remember your article on Turbo OutRun, but I don't think the console-only stuff should count.) I know one of my friends prefers these entries, which I haven't played myself. Reading this makes me wonder about your opinion on OutRun's arcade sequels, like Turbo OutRun and OutRunners. A manвЂ™s got to take a stand somewhere, you know? Personal bias? No, IвЂ™m stating that as a fact.

#Game top speed full

Full Throttle is a fun game thatвЂ™s not quite as good as OutRun. Fast, uncomplicated, not the most nutritious but enjoyable while it lasts вЂ“ but unlike some burgers IвЂ™ve had (late night, post-pub ones, usually) I didnвЂ™t regret the experience. You can enjoy a tasty burger even after eating a steak, and thatвЂ™s what Full Throttle is: a real hamburger of a game. That certainly doesnвЂ™t make it a bad game, though. Of course, the question was вЂњcan we improve on OutRunвЂќ and sadly the answer was вЂњno, not really.вЂќ ItвЂ™s a little less interesting, a little less precise and the soundtrack is good but nearly as good as OutRunвЂ™s (although few game soundtracks are). вЂњDriver least concerned with the safety of themselves and othersвЂќ would be a better bet.ДЄs the credits roll, the rather good ending theme plays and Full Throttle / Top Speed comes to a close, IвЂ™m left to reflect on the game that was TaitoвЂ™s answer to OutRun. вЂњBravestвЂќ might be giving my actions a gravitas they do not deserve. My car eventually vanished and then reappeared on the road, so happily it all worked out. I especially enjoy the tunnels because I once managed to completely miss the entrance and slam into the wall with such force that the game momentarily had no idea what the hell was going on, its programming unequipped to deal with someone being so bad at the game.

I like the tunnels, too: a fun visual change that forces you to make sure youвЂ™re actually on the road rather than skidding around on the hard shoulder when you reach the entrance, but short enough that they donвЂ™t overstay their welcome. The roadside trees make a rustling noise if you drive right underneath their branches, which is a pleasing little touch which also helps sell the idea that youвЂ™re driving really fast. IвЂ™m very fond of the various billboards that line the roads: while the billboards in 1980s arcade games are almost always fun to look at вЂ“ and almost always either advertising another of the companyвЂ™s games or being hastily-altered versions of the Marlboro and Coke logos вЂ“ there are some particularly good ones in Full Throttle. There are a couple of things in the environment that give Full Throttle a little more spark, too.
