One of the most loved arcade games, Pole Position is a watershed in arcade racing games and was THE game that set standard for all subsequent "checkpoint racers" (i.e. racing through checkpoints against the clock). Designed by Japan’s NAMCO and licensed by Atari in the US, the game’s launch in 1982 attracted countless arcade fans.
