Me being 6 years old, This game being new, The awesome sit down console, Playing it in a Showbiz Pizza, is still burned into brain as one of my all time top favorite memories of being a kid in the 80s.

This was the game I played every single time I went to the arcades way back when. I would save my last quarter just to play this. Great memories with this cabinet. Thanks for uploading!

I remember this being delivered to the arcade. I remember it being switched on for the first time and the crash helmet that the arcade owner supplied for players to wear when playing.

I remember playing this in the arcades and being able to watch someone play from behind looking through the glass is awesome. I always wanted one of these cabinets :D

This game always had a crowd around it at Showbiz Pizza.

I spent so much money and time on this game in my youth and it was worth every penny. One of the greatest games ever.

one of the best classics out there..they are working on a remake board. The board will be designed to plug into the existing harness..
should bring tons of these cabinets back from the dead..
thanks for the videos

Lots of hours on the 5200 home version back in the day
A large part of the fun of this game were the controls- that extra beefy nearly indesturctable shifter your could throw up and down with all your might.
And that shiny metal steering wheel that spun infinitely around 360, ie most other driving games of the time had stops to the left/right or at the bottom 180

Used to work at London Gatwick airport in 85/86 when I first left school and they used to have this video game there. Just the sound brought back memories

[TheGorillafoot]

Was one of my favorite game growing out. Man, that brings me back.

[AdamsBrew]

This was cutting edge gaming when I was 4 ... Was my favorite arcade game.

I just picked up a 1980 sega Monaco gp cockpit game that needs complete restoration but I got it to play blind so far.  I wanted a pole position maybe some day very cool game

[alanmacmillan]

I played it in arcade around '83, '84. it was very slick at the time ; people sometimes look at it now and think it's too basic but till '83 best you had was maybe space invaders, pinball and dig dug or centipede type stuff - real flat graphics in 2d. The atari 8-bit version of this wasn''t bad either, along with the atari console versions. love this.

[ElectroCurmudgeon]

really cool cabinet. had not idea they overheated that bad. that makes sense why i always saw the stand up ones.

[snow]

Thank you for making this video.
Awesome Cabinet.

Cockpit version of Pole Position, my favorite arcade game ever, along with the Cockpit version of Star Wars, spent a lot of quarters on those machines.

[overbuiltautomotive]

i just got one just like it works but monitor is pin cushion mushed out i need to clean up my art work n all that but i love it..

[SurviventheOnslaught]

my local dairy queen had a pole position upright, after the ice cream token was turned was pole position time

[CharlieBrown-fyzy]

the pole position at the arcade i go to has the stand up version and it has no break pedal

[PistonAvatarGuy]

I can't even imagine how awesome this game must have been in the early '80s, I didn't even encounter it until the early '90s, but still loved it.
