The jakks pacific unit played the arcade version of pole position. The controller even had a twist action for steering. Pole Position hasn't appeared on any recent namco collections or plugnplays, probably due to the controls. You can easily play it on any computer with mame, controls aren't ideal but it's not bad with a mouse/trackpad.

Did I uncover a Japanese Joystick Jingoism?

Ever try playing cross-handed like this. This is definitely the wrong forum section for these posts. -
That explains what happened to the cartridges where I was. They just disappeared from the shelves, no discounts, no bargain bins. I had a hard time finding new games, I paid full price for burgertime and bumpnjump.

Looks good! I have a question; between programming eight, sixteen direction, or 360 degree movement, is one easier than the other. Why bother with 16 directions, just go full precision of the controller.

Dreadnaught Factor, Space Battle, Space Spartans, Defender, Beamrider; would be my list. Space Hawk would be second or third with Star Strike in the space network.

The intellivision controller uses three bits for the side buttons. Each button uses two of those bits. If all three bits are used you know two side buttons have been pressed simultaneously.
