Full Throttle
aka Speed King

Top 100 Game

Full Throttle was renamed to Speed King when it was released for the Commodore 64. Mastertronic ported the game to further platforms when they released Speed King at budget price in 1986, while Elite Systems re-released the original Spectrum version on their 2.99 Classics label. Undeterred, Mastertronic still converted Speed King back to the Spectrum and released it as Speed King 2 once the Elite's re-release of Full Throttle left the charts.
