Pole Position

This now legendary motor-racing game by Atari gives realistic racing effects using either joystick or keyboard control. Select from either novice, experienced or advanced level, choose the number of laps between one and eight, and you are away!

You must qualify before actually participating in a race and achieve a lap time of 73 seconds or better. Sounds are effective, ranging from tyre squeal and explosions, to bumping over the verge, and realistic engine noises. Atari have also been thoughtful enough to provide alternative key selections for both left-handed and right-handed players.
