Following the success of Pole Position, Namco and Atari returned with its successor Pole Position II, which added three new tracks in addition to Fuji Speedway: Japan's Suzuka Circuit, a "Test" track similar to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and "Seaside," which is similar to the 1982 Grand Prix West circuit in Long Beach, CA. Released as an upgrade kit for Pole Position cabinets, the sequel didn't change a lot else, though it does include new music, a different color scheme, new billboards and the addition of flying debris when you crash. That didn't stop Pole Position II from being a huge hit, and it is still considered one of the most important racing games of the 80s.
