Released: 1983
Pole Position is a racing game that was first released in the Arcade in 1982.
+ Practice mode is a welcome feature that provides an opportunity to learn the ropes without other vehicles in the way.+ Has three race tracks to test your driving and there's an option to switch from four to eight laps for a real challenge.
+ Racing has a good sense of speed and the excellent draw distance allows you to plan manoeuvres well in advance.
+ Analog stick offers ultra precision and squeezing between two competitors is fun thanks to the solid collision detection.
+ Secondary scoring feature means you always have an incentive to play again, even if you don't manage to complete a race.
- Reaching the finish line requires absolute perfection and casual players might be turned off by the lack of margin for error.
- Race tracks are samey and this port is missing a few presentational touches from the Arcade (e.g. billboard advertisements).
