Load the POLE POSITIONcartridge into your TI 99/4A Home Computer as explained in your computer owner's guide, and tum on your computer. The master title screen should now appear. Now you can press any key to display the master selection list.
Next, press the numbered key which corresponds to Pole Position and the game title screen will appear. Press any key to display the option screen to choose one of three difficulty levels and/or the number of laps in a race (1-8).
The object of Pole Position is to pit yourself against the clock and the competition ( other high-performance racers). Now is your chance to prove you've got the nerve and skill t? be a professional race car driver.
You can steer your racer by moving the joystick to the left or to the right. Increase or decrease your speed by moving the joystick up or down, respectively. Pressing the "FIRE" button allows the driver to change from low to high gear. In the extreme upper right-hand comer of the playing screen, is your current Lap Time Counter (0"00). The Time Clock at the center, which determines the remaining time your car has to cross the finish line, winds down as your Lap Time Counter increases. Also, at the top night is the high and low gear indicator (HI/LO). Your speed as shown can reach a max of 195 MPH.
