Title: Anyone tried hacking a Pole Position PCB?
Post by: creatine28 on June 13, 2002, 10:33:01 am: Has anybody tried hacking a Pole Position steering wheel PCB? It look like a Track ball PCB, but bigger with more components on the board. I tried hooking it up with my track ball/ spinner connector that I made from a hacked mouse, but it didn't seem to work? Any idea's?

They were really ahead of the curve.. The damn ARPANet hasn't been fully live three months yet and they're already wasting the governments time on a forum talking about arcade games that haven't been invented yet.

Nah, I saw him with a Delorean and some white haired guy called "doc" or something. Come to think of it, they look a lot like a pair of guys I saw with the same car in 1985.
