Does anyone know the highest score possible? I think the highest I've had was 59,560. Is 60,000 even possible?

Good game I played the sit-down version at the lodge in Lake Barkley that is the only Pole Position machine Kentucky. 68.171.74.77 06:18, 29 October 2005

That's nice, I remember playing the game and having some fun as well, but that's not really Wikipedia material. The Talk/Discussion pages are also only meant for discussing the article, not playing the game which it is about for instance. (By the way, type 4 tildes (~) as 1 word to sign your talk page additions with your name/IP and the date/time.) Retodon8 23:32, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
Hey man, aren't you being a bit snobbish? So what if the poor guy wrote ONE LINE about the game? Don't be such a tight ass. 193.251.135.124
I was just informing the poster; perhaps (s)he wasn't aware of Wikipedia's Talk pages' purpose. I wasn't accusing him/her of anything, just trying to help out. Retodon8 15:53, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
On Zilog_Z8000 it says Pole Position used two Z8002s, not a Z80. Can anyone verify?81.154.222.142 23:23, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
MAME says it uses both one Z80, as well as two Z8002s

[edit] Requested move

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was PAGE MOVED per discussion below. -GTBacchus(talk) 20:48, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Pole Position → Pole Position (video game) — This capitalized page name conflicts with pole position (the uncapitalized page name). See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (precision)#Minor spelling variations for the relevant guideline here. The uncapitalized pole position is a general term listed in dictionaries, so it should be considered the primary name. Therefore, the capitalized Pole Position (video game) should be moved elsewhere.

  1. Support as nominator, filling poll position for this poll. Seriously, pole position should be the primary usage, not the video game.--Endroit 01:24, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
  2. Support as per nominator. Don't let games kidnap the real things there were named after in general. -- Matthead discuß!     O       13:17, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
  3. Support per nom. PC78 14:12, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
  4. Support because Pole Position has several possible meanings. Warofdreams talk 00:39, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
  5. Support as per Warofdreams. :) --Tohru Honda13Talk•Sign here 02:07, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References based only on name "pole position" are irrelevant

The name "pole position" is a common term in Formula One racing, so I don't see how anything using this term has to be listed on the video game's page. I've removed all references based only on the name. --Krótki 12:15, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Pole0000.png

Image:Pole0000.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 08:27, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
