Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range. TechnicalThe game uses two Z8002 microprocessors, one Z80 microprocessor and a Namco 6-channel stereo PSG for sounds. An onboard NiCd battery keeps highscores even with the game turned off.eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the Pole Position II Videogame machine and items related to it.Click here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for machines and parts made by Atari.
