Pole Position II (Japan)

More of an update than a true sequel to Namco's 1982 racing legend; "Pole Position", Pole Position II features three new race tracks - Suzuka, Seaside and a test circuit - with a slight increase in the amount of colour variation to indicate the difference between tracks. The sequel also featured 'striped' roads; a graphical characteristic designed to give the game a greater sensation of speed, and something that would be copied, and used to great effect, many times in the racing games that followed over the following years.
