Pole Position II is a 1983 racing video game developed and published by Namco for arcades. It is the sequel to the 1982 game Pole Position. Atari, Inc. released the game in North America. Atari also released a port as the pack-in game for its Atari 7800 ProSystem in 1986. Pole Position arcade machines can be converted to Pole Position II by swapping several chips.
The gameplay is the same as in the original Pole Position with three additional tracks to choose from. Like its predecessor, Pole Position II was a major commercial success in arcades, becoming the highest-grossing arcade game of 1984 in the United States, and remaining among the annual highest-grossing arcade games in Japan and the US through 1987.
