Pole Position (Arcade – 1984)

One of the most important and successful titles from early arcades, Pole Position was developed by Namco and is an evolution from its 1976 electro-mechanical game F-1, whose designer Sho Osugi also helped designed this game along with Kazunori Sawano and Sinichiro Okamoto. Pole Position’s scrolling and bending road inspired an entire genre of future racing games and is one of the most influential games of all time.
