that was pretty awesome

Why do they need to loop these? Everyone I've seen has the first half repeated...

Anyways, I disagree with their interpretation of pole position. Maybe vague racing game, but clearly not any situations in pole position (4 pixel wide lane and no way to pass)

Good video, I like the night version. I wonder what is next. And why not pac man yet?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

That's not Pole Position. Maybe Night Driver or Rally X.

hmm... the cars at the beginning look a lot like the Pole Position cars (where you can see the wheels), from what I remember. The game itself is certainly not PP, though. Did PP even have turns? I thought the original was just a straight-forward track where you dodged left/right.

The gameplay looks a LOT like the game I used to play on the Apple II, though: autobahn.

Edit: In fact, the more I think about it, autobahn went through "tunnels"/"night" phases like they showed with the lights. (that effect was pretty cool)

they call it "The Human Pole Position":

"POLE POSITION is the 3rd video performance of the GAME OVER Project, directed by the Swiss artist Guillaume REYMOND (NOTsoNOISY creative agency).

Who does not remember POLE POSITION, one of the very first racing car video games? With a Formula 1 in hands, the driver had to try and avoid other vehicles and travel as many kilometres as possible on a sinuous road. Moreover, to add to the challenge, from time to time, the road would become narrower so as to become a bridge, or a night mode would diminish visibility...

Well, the biggest ever race of POLE POSITION has in fact taken place on February 11th 2007, during the festival "The Game is up!" in the Vooruit (Ghent, Belgium):

49 extras
6 hours of shooting
400 pictures"

Gotta love those sound effects. "Whieww.. Whieww.. Pschgkkk!" Almost as if they hired professional foley artists.

"That's not Pole Position. Maybe Night Driver or Rally X. "

I think it might be Enduro.

Nailed the sound effects.

Yes Wumpus - I remember Enduro, almost. (fixed your link)

whatever game it was, the driver kind of sucked at it.

Couldn't this just be done by using photoshop? All you have to do is cut and paste a few people in different seats. You would only have to take one picture of just people in general and the editor would do the rest. Perhaps it would take to long to do it that way but I know it can be done.

I think it seems more like spy hunter than pole position...

Pole position does have turns I remember it distinctly

It is clearly portraying Sega Turbo.

In Pole Position, hitting the sides didn't kill you, but there were signs on the edge of the road every now and then that would.
