Pole Position

Pole Position

  • Quick-Paced Track Fun!
  • For use with the Atari 2600 Video Game System
  • Catalog no. CX2694
  • Programmed by Doug Macare
  • One Player

Product Description
POLE POSITION consists of two races: the Qualifying Lap and
the Grand Prix. In both races you’re racing against time and
other cars. The longer you race and the more cars you pass,
the more points you score. You earn 10,000 points for
completing a lap and 50 bonus points for each car you pass. A
lap is one complete circuit of the race course (see diagram).

The Qualifying Lap is 90 seconds long, but you must complete
it in 73 seconds (L/73″00) or less to qualify for a position
in the Grand Prix.

If you don’t qualify, you can continue racing until the Race
Timer counts down to zero. Then your car stops, a bonus for
the number of cars passed is added to your score, and the game
ends.

If you qualify, your car is positioned for the Grand Prix and
a bonus for qualifying is added to the 10,000 points you
scored for completing the lap. The quicker your lap time, the
better your position and the larger your qualifying bonus (see
SCORING). Go for POLE POSITION, the number one starting spot.
It’s worth 4000 bonus points.

In the Grand Prix, your object is to end the race in the
shortest possible time. At the end of the last lap, a time
bonus for each second left on the Race Timer is added to your
score, in addition to a bonus for the number of cars passed.

The race is four laps long. Complete each lap before the Race
Timer runs out to earn “extended play” time and go on racing.
If the timer runs out before you end a lap, your car stops,
your passing bonus is added to your score, and the game ends.

  • The original Atari 2600

Product Description
The Atari 2600 is a video game console released in October 1977. It is credited with popularizing the use of microprocessor-based hardware and cartridges containing game code, instead of having non-microprocessor dedicated hardware with all sports meeting built in. The first game console to use this format was the Fairchild Channel F; but, the Atari 2600 is credited with making the plug-in concept well loved among the game-playing public.
