snicklin Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 It is great seeing the Fuji Speedway on the mens and womens cycling in the Olympics. I just want to be the commentator on the TV and say, "This speedway is famous for being in the Atari Pole Position arcade game". OK, I am a sad person... sorry for taking up your time. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Level42 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 And the Japanese would immediately correct you and say: You mean the NAMCO Pole Position arcade game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivop Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) 盆栽 My new hobby for the last two years 8 hours ago, snicklin said: the mens and womens cycling in the Olympics. I enjoyed both of the races, too. Carapaz was great, and so was Anna Kiesenhofer. Never underestimate your competition. And count how many riders were in the getaway Annemieke van Vleuten thought she had gold, one minute after Anna Kiesenhofer had already finished. Very sad, but also hilarious Edited July 25, 2021 by ivop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how often I did in the arcade til I have seen one guy fullspeed into the corner hard right and the gear to low… and it worked… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
