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.

Sequels

Pole Position II was released in 1983, and added to the original Fuji track with three additional courses: Seaside, Test and Suzuka. It featured slightly improved graphics, as well as a different starting tune.

While many considered the three-screened racer TX-1, released in 1984 by Atari and designed by Tatsumi to be a sequel to Pole Position II, the true sequel arrived in 1987 with the release of Final Lap, which may be considered an unofficial Pole Position III.
