Final Lap
While many considered the three-screened racer "TX-1", released in 1984 by Atari and designed by Tatsumi to be a sequel to "Pole Position II", the true sequel arrived in 1987 with the release of "Final Lap" - which may be considered an unofficial "Pole Position III". "Final Lap" would later spawn a racing-RPG spin-off for the TurboGrafx-16 video game console called "Final Lap Twin" in 1989 - as well as three directly-related arcade sequels, "Final Lap 2" (in 1990), "Final Lap 3" (in 1992), and "Final Lap R" (in 1993).
