You know, I didn't notice anything different about the game this time. Maybe I wasn't paying attention, I dunno. The monitor looked older, though. I think last time they'd put it in just before I came or something.
And, for a new score on Pole Position. Just surprises me I can continue to get higher scores on this, given I have no pedal. I might be able to see 65k now, if you had one. Note, I have it set for four laps, though the machine at Castles & Coasters was three, but the game must've been set for four when THE high score was attained.
