POLE POSITION 是 Namco 於 1982 年推出的經典大型電玩賽車遊戲。它在 1982 年成為日本最賣座的大型電玩遊戲，並於 1983 年在國際上成為最受歡迎的投幣式遊戲。在北美，它在 1983 年和 1984 年蟬聯大型電玩遊戲票房冠軍，並在 1985 年仍保持前五名。玩家操控賽車，目標是在經典賽道上爭取桿位資格。POLE POSITION 以第三人稱視角、流暢的畫面和逼真的駕駛機制聞名，是電玩遊戲史上最具影響力的賽車遊戲之一。
I’ve played a lot of retro arcade ports, but this one nails the 1982 feel better than I expected. The original track layouts and the way the timer pressures you into every turn took me straight back to the arcade floor. It’s the most fun I’ve had with a racing game in years.
The steering wheel feels just as twitchy and unforgiving as I remember from the arcade, which is exactly what I wanted for that 1982 rush. Spent a whole evening chasing my old high score and it still gets the heart pumping.
The steering on this port feels tighter than the original cabinet I remember from 1983, which makes the sharp turns near the finish line actually manageable. Loses half a star for the lack of a proper attract mode, but the authentic arcade speed is all there.
