Pole Position is a classic racing video game that was initially released as an arcade game in 1982 and later ported to various home platforms, including the Vectrex console. Designed by Namco, players race a Formula One car in a time trial before proceeding to the main race, where the aim is to complete the circuit before the timer runs out. It's one of the most influential games of the 80s, popularizing the format of racing games with a track and the player's perspective from behind the vehicle.
