I choose to believe it had strings on when the cat got in.

Pole Position. It was part of an Atari arcade pack on my Gameboy Advanced. I would press and hold the A button so hard that the letter would be imprinted on my thumb, but I could not pass the qualifying round despite my best attempts.

As an adult, it suddenly hit me one day. I did not realize, as a kid, that I needed to change gears to go faster.

So I tried it out in order to test my theory. The graphics barely showed up on the screen because the gba was like 15 years old or older at that point.

Passed the qualifying race my first try just by gearing up.
