The second part of the legend's game, which celebrated its greatest triumphs in the eighties on slot machines. Compared to the original, PeCet conversion is better graphically, besides it has several new tracks.

Just like in the original, the player will play the role of a Formula 1 driver, but this time will take part in the competition on one of the four tracks (known from the first part of the game Fuji, Test, Suzuka and Seaside). Traditionally, the game is divided into two stages: qualifying and the main race. In the first of them we have to complete one lap as soon as possible, which will determine our position on the start list. The actual competition is only a competition with other drivers, although the time limit is equally important and in each lap you have to stay within the specified time limit.

The service of the game did not change by a jota (even the menu looks similar), but the revolution took place in the visual setting. The program detects EGA cards and you can see it almost from the beginning of the game. Admittedly, this is not a VGA and 256 colors, but compared to the original we are dealing with a real revolution.

Generally it is an old, good PeCet conversion of Pole Position with much improved graphics and completely new tracks, which increase the overall playability of the product.
