Pole Position was one of the early racing arcade games. I seen to recall the arcade cabinet had a steering wheel and gas pedal. We only have an Atari 2600 controller to work with here, but it gets the job done in a pinch. The colors seem remarkably close to the arcade version but I find this one suffers a little from lack of shifting colors and no signs. I feel the same way about the arcade version though the car graphics are pretty good for your car and opposing cars.

This was an Early 80's game, so there were certainly limits. Not bad overall even if a little monotonous.
