CGRundertow POLE POSITION for Arcade Video Game Review

[RedWolf3487]

@KingDavid73 I'm pretty sure they just use those compilation games like Midway Arcade Treasures or Namco Museum.

[KingDavid73]

thank you for mentioning where you play some arcade games. I really like to know what arcade collections are out there. You say you don't use MAME, so where did you play Street Fighter 1 if it wasn't on the TG16-cd?

Speaking of ads, as a 6 year old kid at the time, I remember them placing Marlboro billboards which was hilarious. I don't smoke though. I guess their ad failed to hook me into their product.

They also had Penzoil and Pepsi. And I don't remember anything else.

But now, I prefer other racing games as I probably would play this one like once every blue moon with the earth, sun and moon aligned.

This was one of my favorite games on the Namco Museum game for my Gamecube. I always found it very fun to play. This, Galaga, and Dig-Dug were my favorites.

[MrMexicanZombie]

this was the first racing game i ever owned for the atari :D

[doinkstep]

Used to LOVE this game!

[jeisensei]

Ahhh... Good ol' AAA. Back when I played the original game I didn't know how to put anything else in so all my high scores were also AAA.

[fpvshitsonhsv]

My favorite was Nigel Mansell's F1on the SNES

[Mike010ekiM]

Namco speedway looks suspiciously like Fuji speedway 80's...

[twnturbo6]

@Mike010ekiM That's because it is.

[goldensolder44]

Anyone wondered how that chick who talks at the end of the race looked like?

[clays121]

Poll Position was AWESOME SAUCE!!!

[vaughn4lif]

the name if the game sounds dodgy

[NWpowerhouse85]

This game is a boring turd that has aged exponentially since its debut, but still gotta pay homage to games like this, as they laid the groundwork for games like GT, Forza, etc.

[digioverlord]

man check the add for this game and try not to yell: POLE POSITION!!! every three secs XD

[IblisLucario64]

this is better than most racing games today... and i started gaming in 1998

[oldatarigamer]

The basics of racing games really haven't changed all that much.

[happosai27]

wow looks awesome for 1982 Oo more objects and some details and it could be a snes title from the early 90s

[MistwalkerZ]

AAA must be an awesome gamer D:

[nitturo]

one of the very first i played in my childhood! awesome memories! :)

[StrawberryGuy86]

Don't be a REAL JERK! Go and play some POLLLE POSIIIITTION!!!

[SporeFan01234]

"PREPARE TO RAGE" that is what i saw

[telecomboring]

It may not have the depth of a modern F1 sim; that is why it is way, way better than a modern F1 sim.

[28steryan]

17th.

[MrSomeone12346]

@28steryan fuck you!

[pcostel1]

Prepare to qualify!

[fsmetal]

huh huih huh. Pole.

[WebVMan]

Is this the Plug and Play version? Because it is not a true Arcade port. At least the Museum versions have toggle switches like the real arcade machines.

[WebVMan]

I'd rather crash into an ad for Call of Duty: Black Ops.

[RedWolf3487]

I prefer the Vectrex version.

[WebVMan]

Arcade? True enthusiasts play it on their Atari 2600.

[aidanrayner999]

Hi game! :D

[RaycxellTorres]

3D Classics:Pole Position for the 3DS =3

[JamesIsHereBro]

This game looks pretty cool :D

[crazyfooInc]

I always loved the commercial for the Atari version; it was hilarious! :-D

[stuffisgd]

my pole is in position.

[genefishy611]
