For those of you playing on hardware I added Pole Position II yesterday (all tracks) to the Retroboards. Make sure you get a picture of the entire screen and register with the forums (and read the submission guidelines first).

I'll probably be playing this week since I want to put up scores on Test track (and the fact that Twin Galaxies never verified a dozen scores I submitted last year on VHS).

Seaside? Okay. But that is the track I don't know so well. Guess it's time to learn that one too.

And they still don't have an Atari Ref. I think I know the ref you sent those to. He is no longer on staff. Any who, TGI did add some new features including Score Submission Tracking and Personalized score links like these (My Scores)

They are still working out the "Name" field as far as which name to show (full name, gamertag, ect) so right now it shows the Players 1st name only. What can I say, Test is an easy max out

I'm debating pulling my 7800 out or not for this one. I know I have the cart. It's been in my game closet since November. EMU just makes things too easy as far as leaving the system in storage.

1st whack at it in 19 years. This one didn't age too well. I thought this was so cool in 92.

Forgive me it was starting to thunderstorm... I was trying to update quickly.

I meant the "FUJI" TRACK 2 Correction made.

I looked at manual cover very fast, and I thought it was only 3 tracks total... Oo.
