| Pole Position | Atari;Namco | 1982 | The first F1 racing game (Note by Teran: Well this isn't really a Formula 1 game, but it is surely the first game which made you believe you are actually driving (cf Night Driver [Flying_Arsedoctor]). Great graphics for its time.) By Flying_Arsedoctor: Very reminiscent of Super Hang-On, yet predates it by several years! The beefy processor combination assisted the 'next-generation' quality of this game. Interestingly, the year of this games release was one of the most exciting ever in F1 racing, and the height of the ground effects era, which may explain why the cars handle so smoothly! The first F1 race on the real Fuji Speedway was in 1976. After a 1977 F1 crash, there were no F1 races for 10 years. Since the first version of Pole Position was published in 1982, this game could only take place the seventies. [Zerothis] | Arcade | labelimagesubject |
| Pole Position II | Atari;Namco | 1983 | Pole Position Il is a one-player game using a color rasterscan video display. Game action takes place at 4 different raceways-the Fuji Speedway in Japan, the Test Track (an oval track like Indy), the Seaside Speedway (with the Long Beach Pike in the background), and the Suzuka Speedway in Japan. The unique and picturesque scenery around each raceway adds exciting realism to each race! The driver drives a Formula-1 race car on each track. Player controls consist of a steering wheel, a two-position gear shifter, an accelerator, and a brake pedal (on the Sit-Down cabinet). The first objective of the game is to finish the qualifying lap as quickly as possible. If the driver beats the times specified in Table 1-4, he qualifies for the race. If he does not qualify, he drives the remainder of his time along the qualifying course. As a qualifier, the driver is ranked according to his qualifying lap time, from position one (the pole position) to position eight. Then the driver's second objective is to race against the clock and other cars to finish the race laps (operator selects the number of laps) as fast as possible, and to achieve the highest score possible. The driver earns points for passing cars, driving on the track, and finishing the race with time remaining. The time remaining from the Racing Lap is added to the extended lap time listed in Table 1-5. | Arcade | labelimagesubject |
