Pole Position Arcade Game Review by NAMCO and Atari - John's Arcade

[AreYouLuckyWoW]

Hey John, I just picked up a broken Pole Position. Was wondering if you could send me some pics of your harness wired to the connections on the board. Thanks

Pole Position II (our version) has billboards for Dentyne gum, Tang orange drink mix and 7-Eleven food stores.

Thanks for the great video John!I remember playing this game here in England at a holiday centre during 1982 it was the cockpit version and the engine sounds fantastic from the drivers seat,I think I just kept the accelerator pushed fully down all the time!Brought back great memories,alsol remember playing Firefox video arcade game as well,thanks again from Spoogie in the UK.

I swear, this game is hard.

To win the game, you can't crash or screw up even once.

[MegaMuffindude]

That Pac-Man has been there for a long time...

[DJCandyManMike]

I've always loved Pole Position! You can't go wrong with classic racing games! I never knew how many problems it gave keeping it running, though.

[atariforever2002]

Great vid as usual John. You ought to put a multi-taito in that cab...

[animegamingdude]

You should get a game called Zero Wing. One of the most underrated arcade space shooters of all time.

[corvorig]

hey dude great videos by the way ur voice sounds really good ...you should be a radio DJ or T V commentator or something ...keep it up

This is one of my favorite arcade games ever. Maybe it's because I'v played to the end or maybe it's because it's simply a kick ass game. It's probably both.

I owned one of these for years.  One of the customs/graphics chips were fried. Everything rendered fine, but all you saw of your own car was the spoiler.

Bought it for $90, just for the sound/voice samples. couldn't sell it for anything. heh. Ended up giving it away to some old friends.

[YTPgirlaph]

Awesome! I played this game on the computer.

[Gambenoful]

I love Pole Position, I have one myself. Awesome game!

[dexx2233]

[Blackboxreviews]

Always look forward to your subscriptions and new episodes of VGO!

[dj9volt]

the 7th place start actually isn't a disadvantage if you think about it. Reason being is it gives you a few car head start on your end of game passing bonus

[Zontar82]

this is the only racing game that i played in my life wher i have never been able to complete one lap..is that difficult...

[BarryLyndon86]

don't forget Judas Priest "freewheel burning" video. Pole position!

[youwayo]

[sandmanxo]

Good timing, I just picked up a Pole Position on Sunday myself! Mine is playing blind because of a blown flyback, but should be up and going by the weekend.

[MrTechnoSqueek]

a restaurant that I go to a lot while since I was a kid has a Pole Position same stand up machine but the shifter looks different than yours

[boverhof3]

PCB?

[blkdog7]

@boverhof3 Printed Circuit Board. It's essentially the game. The motherboard, kind of.
