Pole Position (World)

A single player races a Formula One car on the twisting, demanding ''Fuji Speedway'' racetrack in Japan, over either three or four laps (depending on chosen DIP settings), attempting to record the fastest time possible. As well as ''Accelerator'' and ''Brake'', the car also comes equipped with a ''Hi'' and ''Low'' gear. A legendary and groundbreaking racing game that was, graphically at least, incredibly advanced for its time. While Pole Position wasn't the world's FIRST sprite-scaling racing game (that accolade belongs to Sega's "Turbo", released a year earlier), it was the first to offer such flawlessly smooth and detailed graphics.
