Rocket Coaster is a Sega Mega LD full motion video driving game developed by HighTech Lab. Japan and published by Taito. A combined port of the developer's previous Taito Super D3BOS motion simulator ride films^[3]^[4] featuring driving gameplay and a selection of three tracks, the game was first released in Japan in December 1993, and was later brought to the United States in May 1994.
