Pole Position

Pole Position is a video game that was first released in 1982 by Namco, also the creator of Pac-Man. In Pole Position, the player had to complete a lap in a certain amount of time in order to qualify for an F1 race at the Fuji Racetrack. After qualifying, the player had to face other cars in a championship race.

For release in the United States, Namco approached Bally Midway with a choice of two games in 1982. Bally Midway chose Mappy while Atari was forced to go with Pole Position — which turned out to become the most popular game of 1983.
