- 03:56 TheRealJeff: oh shoot, really? dang...
- 04:00 Garm: galaxian doneee
- 04:02 TossedFish#4610 changed their comment.
- 04:03 TheRealJeff: I never liked Pole Position lol
- 04:03 TheRealJeff: one crash and you're done
- 04:09 TheRealJeff: 41k score but ran out of time in lap 3
- 04:16 TheRealJeff: are we allowed to change the settings in pole position?
- 04:21 tapioca: people have been changing the settings in other games all night lol
- 04:21 tapioca: I'd say yeah, you can
- 04:24 TheRealJeff: what about changing it to 3 laps?
- 04:31 sp0ck1#7823 has finished in 6th place with a time of 2:47:51!
- 04:31 sp0ck1: You could change it to 3 laps
- 04:31 sp0ck1: I did 3 laps I think whe I did this the first time but I went back and did 4
- 04:31 sp0ck1: On the other hand I've given myself 5 lives twice tonight lol
- 04:31 sp0ck1: This is your arcade
- 04:32 sp0ck1: Fiddle with your machines as you like
- 04:32 TheRealJeff: any tips for pole position? seriously the hardest one
- 04:32 Fritter#8330 has finished in 7th place with a time of 2:49:19!
- 04:32 sp0ck1: Well, you're right about not being able to crash
- 04:32 Fritter: I hate arcade games :)
- 04:33 sp0ck1: My strat is kind of feathering the A button on the turns
- 04:33 sp0ck1: Sometimes braking but I usually find braking slows me down too much too fast. I do brake sometimes by switching gears back to low and switching up again as soon as I can afford to
- 04:34 sp0ck1: Also you can accelerate out of the turns to some level even though it's a 2D game
- 04:34 sp0ck1: Make sure you start your turn on the left side of the road if it's a left turn, right side of the road if it's a right turn, because you know how your car barely holds on to the turn and swings out
- 04:34 sp0ck1: I don't know if any of this is all common knowledge or helpful but that's what I got
- 04:35 TheRealJeff: hm I'll focus on that for the tight turn
- 04:36 sp0ck1: Ohh also what reallllly helped me was memorizing the turns, it just made me feel calmer like I knew what was happening. Again not sure if everybody already did that, but I think it's right, left, right, left, right, hard right
- 04:36 sp0ck1: hen I started keeping track of where I was in the lap, I won
- 04:39 TheRealJeff: oh wow
- 04:39 TheRealJeff: one of the settings changes your top speed? weird
- 04:39 TheRealJeff: the extended tiem one
- 04:39 sp0ck1: how did video games ever get to be popular if these were the options
- 04:42 TheRealJeff: tbf they are optoins for arcade owners to set
- 04:42 tapioca: I like namco museum NotLikeThis and the games it contains
- 04:42 TheRealJeff: I think higher Extneded time is easier?
- 04:42 sp0ck1: i like this game a lot im just stealing poptart's old comment
- 04:42 TheRealJeff: asnd lower extended time is harder, and they make your car faster because otherwise it would be impossible
- 04:43 tapioca: ah. a poptart_classic
- 04:43 tapioca: Extended Time - This option selects between the amount of extended time the user can earn, if the Goal After Laps option is set to 3, the user can select from 102 seconds, 105 seconds, 108 seconds and 111 seconds. If the Goal After Laps option is set to 4, the user can select from 161 seconds, 165 seconds, 169 seconds, and 173 seconds.
- 04:43 poptart_cat#2549 has finished in 8th place with a time of 3:00:29!
- 04:43 tapioca: from the manual
- 04:43 tapioca: gg poptart
- 04:44 poptart_cat: gg
- 04:44 Garm: if they didnt have random other racers on the track
- 04:44 Garm: this game would be fine
- 04:44 Garm: angy
- 04:45 sp0ck1: yooooooo gg!
- 04:46 sp0ck1: 161 seconds? total?...
- 04:47 TheRealJeff: what's the easiest option then?
- 04:49 tapioca: yeah tbh those numbers don't make sense to me
- 04:49 tapioca: each lap is about 60 seconds, right? you could never do 4 laps in 161 seconds. but even the easiest setting is still not possible
- 04:50 tapioca: so extended time must be something else
- 04:50 Duffmana: extended time on top of your original time I believe
- 04:51 tapioca: I guess that makes sense lol
- 04:52 Duffmana: cause you start with 75 sec, plus 163 gets you to about 4 minutes
- 04:53 TheRealJeff: crashed on first turn of last lap ;_;
- 04:54 TheRealJeff: all the extra drivers makes no sense
- 05:06 sp0ck1: they truly do not make sense

- 05:24 TheRealJeff: I keep getting screwed by a line of cars when I'm coming up on the tightest turn
- 05:24 Garm: mood
- 05:28 Garm: i had a 50k score run
- 05:29 Garm: and got punished for not realizing i needed to gear down since i "timed out" going over the line
- 05:29 TheRealJeff#6137 has finished in 10th place with a time of 3:46:17!
- 05:30 TheRealJeff: I don't get what you mean, Garm
- 05:30 Garm: from like 3rd to 4th lap, I ran out of time but finished the lap
- 05:31 Garm: so it zeroed out my speed
- 05:31 Garm: and since i was 0
- 05:31 Garm: i cant be in high gear
- 05:32 TheRealJeff: oh weird
- 05:32 TheRealJeff: btw, set your settings to 3 laps
- 05:32 TheRealJeff: unless you really want to do 4
- 05:34 poptart_cat: gg jeff!

- 05:38 TheRealJeff: what a rollercoaster of emotions Pole Position was
- 05:39 TheRealJeff: check out the final lap https://clips.twitch.tv/SpeedyObeseHippoDancingBaby--cnNGi087ndT0Y4s
- 05:39 Garm: i beat 4 laps after you told me to turn it down jeff LOL
- 05:39 TheRealJeff: awesome GG
- 05:39 TheRealJeff: HIT DONE if you're DONE
- 05:39 Garm: nah i have dig dug still
- 05:39 TheRealJeff: I crossed the finish line with 0 twice
- 05:40 TheRealJeff: in that clip
- 05:40 TheRealJeff: insanity
- 05:48 sp0ck1: Dig Dug you can effectively spam credits on and it will let you keep the level you're on
- 05:48 sp0ck1: fyi :)
