Videogame Review, Pole Position for the Atari 5200 Console (w/ Gold Controller)

This is one of the best racing video games ever.  However, it’s also the best home console version out there besides the original arcade machine and its steering wheel.  Atari 5200 controllers are odd specimens; you can just look at the controller on eBay and see its details and material; it would take an artist a very long time to get its values on paper because of all its buttons, function, and materials.  Its joystick has the accuracy of a pen, its fire buttons have the softness of burning rubber, its dial pad numbers have the effect of a phone call, its base has the grip of a rope, its start/pause/reset buttons have the colors of a traffic light in red, green, and yellow.  (Whatever order is in the list.)  Ease of comfort and relaxation become typical graphics for Pole Position and the graphics are in your hands as well as on the TV.  Just the joystick moves like a smooth, very smooth, razor.  Gears in transmission are related by a joystick’s pull-and-turn between the various road items such as curves, billboards, ongoing competitors, burning rubber, audible brakes, painted white lines, bumps in the road and so on.  Visuals really hold up in today’s standards because there’s no excessive download, no conflicting ideas in imagery, none of that stuff.  What this racing game does is present us with obstacles which entice us into dramatic gameplay against the soaring vehicles on life’s happening in our arcade world: a light peach shades of gray, a slight blue effect on the hood… yeah, I’m using a lot of commas because there’s just so much substance to Pole Position on the Atari 5200 and my Atari 5200 controller’s gold makes it a thing of the future.  We’ll constantly have to figure out where the hands ought to go for the joystick since its functions keep the innovation handy and comfortable depending on a posture given by us that’s like whatever habit for a casual guitar player.  Why would someone say that the Atari 5200 controller is unergonomic if a simple guitar can have a similar grip and hold on a pole?  I guess there’s different kinds of ergonomics.  Here, I’d say the Atari 5200 controller can be held like a rope.  3 different racing worlds are engineered into the program with an alternative practice/training mode on the side via dial pad.  We pause for ourselves when the game is paused or so I believe.  A game can be paused not only from a button but also from ending for a moment while the gamer uses his time wisely.  Please wash your hands before touching the controller.  Cleanliness is next to righteousness!  Besides, the purple mountains in the game’s scenery look inviting as billboards pass by close to the shifting movements and gears along the roadside.
