I'm tired of reading Heighway-related threads and seeing dozens of Fish Tales links. People with more skin in the game than I should suggest some alternatives to FT. Once we have some suggestions I'll update the thread with a poll.
Quoted from DCfoodfreak:Ft screw Fish Tales!
David, you and I don't see eye to eye on this one. I love my FT. I agree that it is not Williams best game.
Quoted from Tom_in_NoVA:David, you and I don't see eye to eye on this one. I love my FT.
You know I am about as serious on anything as a box of crayons : )

Good thing too. I had a mind to invite you over, tell you only the FT worked. Then make you play it all night while getting you slowly drunk on fine Irish Whiskey. All while my wife feeds you Thai food.
Best regards,
Tom
I don't dig abbreviations that are mixed case. FullT looks weird. Are there any other games we do that for? Rather just hold down shift and write FTHR and be done.
But maybe FullT is easier to read plainly?
Quoted from epotech:Well my names on it and I prefixed all the part numbers with
FTHR
This should be a done deal. FTHR
Quoted from Biv:I always expect this when reading "Full Throttle"
Not this?
Definitely the first thing I thought of! Actually, I missed the whole "No Fear" brand thing and thought the game was actually based on just the energy drink line until very recently.
Quoted from Law:Not this?

I have a can of this in my fridge that I got from the U.S. while at Expo 2 years ago
I will crack it open when the first game comes off the production line
Whether or not I drink it after 2 years is another matter ...
Quoted from HeighwayPinball:Whether or not I drink it after 2 years is another matter ...
Too late, you're now required to post a video of you cracking it open and chugging it! This will be your "Jack cartwheels" moment.
Don't worry, the citrus flavor keeps it fresh! Actually, Full Throttle is probably the most soda-like/best tasting of the "true" energy drink lines.
The real question is whether or not you can beat your previous best score after chugging it!
Quoted from Biv:I don't like the name of the title anyway
I always expect this when reading "Full Throttle"fullthrottle1.gif
Best game ever!
How about something like FTh or F-Th? It's better than FTH or FLTH, etc, because those look like abbreviations for 3 or 4 words, not two. The lowercase "h" differentiates it better. Just my opinion
Quoted from epotech:Well my names on it and I prefixed all the part numbers with
FTHR
Quoted from Aurich:I like FTHR.
Not that I matter, but I don't like this. I didn't want to look like an idiot (too late) so I went to the Heighway website to investigate what the HR stood for. Only now to I realize(?) that it is an abbreviation for throttle.
To me, all caps should be viewed as an acronym. If you're including partial words, they should be lower case.
It would probably be easier for Heighway to just rename the pin before they ship too many
FTH for me
Actually like FTH ( Rob's thought)....short, and to the point...I'd started a mini thread not seeing this one first....sorry....mark
Quoted from HeighwayPinball:Internally we refer to the games as FTSE & FTLE - for the Standard & Limited Editions respectively
Make good sense to me!
Quoted from IdahoRealtor:How about HPFT?
I like this one. The same way we refer to Data East Star Wars as DESW.
