Pole Position puts players behind the wheel of a Formula One race car as they speed around the famous Fuji Speedway circuit, weaving through traffic and racing against the clock to qualify before competing for the best possible finish. Precision steering, careful braking, and mastering each corner are essential to achieving a top lap time.
Released by INTV Corporation in 1988, Pole Position was developed by Realtime Associates under license from Namco, faithfully bringing one of the most influential arcade racing games of the early 1980s to the Intellivision. Despite the console's hardware limitations, the game captured the speed and excitement of the arcade original with colorful graphics and challenging gameplay. As one of the final officially released Intellivision cartridges, it represents INTV Corporation's continued commitment to supporting the console long after Mattel Electronics had exited the video game market.
