dpisacane Posted Saturday at 08:41 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:41 PM (edited) I will definitely post scores. Don't worry. Still working on it... Also... this game is so flippin' hard. Edited Saturday at 08:41 PM by dpisacane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also... this game is so flippin' hard. You just have to stick with one track, learn the curves and pattern, make the necessary adjustments and you will prevail. Then move onto the 2nd track and do the same.... 👍 Edited Saturday at 10:18 PM by Rickster8 Wording Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuji Speedway - 13,760 Grand National - 12,130 Total Score - 25,890 You should get some bonus points for that killer ass handheld device. I need to get something like that for when I travel. 😃 Edited Sunday at 02:49 PM by Crash7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great option for games that are not on the DS version of Intellivision Lives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpisacane Posted Monday at 12:02 AM Share Posted Monday at 12:02 AM Just got home from being out of town, and I wanted to try Pole Position on actual hardware. So, I dug out my copy, and I was surprised to learn that my skills playing on the retro handheld did transfer. 😃 I got a slightly better score on Fuji Speedway, so here is my updated score: Fuji Speedway - 15,720 Grand National - 12,130 Total Score - 27,850 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
