Well, it tries to be Pole Position—it proved to be quite a technically challinging port for the Intellivision. It almost makes me a little more forgiving of Turbo. Almost.

Pole Position is one of INTV Corp.'s rare misses. The graphics
are OK, but the Intellivision controller just breaks down horribly for this
kind of game. I have a horrible time playing this game - but at least it's
better than Turbo. My hunch is that if I'd ever get good
enough to qualify for more time, I'd see more graphics that looked nice. The
sound is OK, but not incredible. As an arcade port, this one is tough to give
high marks to mostly because of the extremely difficult control. Four different
tracks are available to choose from - I can't recall how many there were in the
original arcade version.

The graphics aren't too bad, but this is still a tough game to play on the Intellivision. |
