On today’s show we talk all about the video game classic, Pole Position. We talk about the games creation and success, the ports, the sequels and of course the Saturday Morning Cartoon. Just a reminder to drop by our official forums to discuss Pole Position and any other video games you might like.

Oh man, I can’t wait to listen to it! Thanks for doing a PP podcast!
Aw yeah! Finally.
I love these kinds of episodes about the classics of gaming.
Just finished listening to the show. You mentioned Pole Position being mentioned in Goonies. Correct me if I am wrong but didn’t Darryl play Pole Position and beat it in the movie D.A.R.R.Y.L. ? I have a memory of him playing some racing game and the screen eventually going to fast for any person to get through yet he does.
It is in Darryl, which somehow escaped me while doing the show. An hour after the cast went live, I got a msg reminding me about it.
