Pole Position

Formula One racing game for Commodore 64, 1984

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use Control Port 1.

To begin, you must first qualify for the main race by completing one lap of
the track in as quick a time as possible. A lap faster than 58.5 seconds will
earn you pole position, but too slow and you wont qualify at all!

Once qualified, you line up to begin the race. Berb, berb, berb, beeeeeb and
you're off. You start with 75 seconds and time is replenished each time you
complete a lap. Contact with other drivers or roadside obstacles such as
advertising boards will result in an instant explosion and a waste of
precious seconds as you get a new car and start moving up the gears again.
The game ends when either your time runs out or you complete the race.
