I would like some opinions on whether PP or PP2 is a better game

I recently picked up a couple non working pole position cabs. One is in pieces one was complete. I got both of the boards working strong, and I have complete confidence that both will hold up. Turns out one of them is pole position, the other is pole position 2.

I want to keep one board, and sell the other.
I never really played pp2 in the past, but it is pretty cool with 4 tracks and seems much more difficult.

If you can keep just one of them, which one do you keep?
thanks
 
...I would also go as far as to say that PP2 is one of the best drivers you could possibly own in a private arcade due to it's iconic look, course selection, and replay value.

that's the type of feedback I was looking for. Guess I have a pole position board for sale. :)
 
Yes, it has 4 tracks, one of which is the PP1 track.

Man it didn't seem like one of them was the same track. I guess I had better plug it back in tonite and prove it. :)

There are some crazy-ass tracks on there though.
 
...whichever of them is working. :D

Yeah, PPII if both work. Cool deal!
 
I am a PPII owner and fan, and I give a slim edge to II.
PPI has better sounds.

PPII has 4 tracks, two of which are too hard and one that is too easy. That leaves Fuji, the same one as in the original.

Run whichever one works, and dont go broke converting I to II.

The cab I have is not in perfect shape. The other cab I have is a bit better, but I don't want to transfer everything to the other cab. I am going to give it to my buddy Dan (p1899m) who says his has water damage.
This is a player, not a restoration project.

both boards work, so I am just going to go with the pp2 I think. I am not the type to have stuff lying around that I don't use, so I am getting rid of one of them.
 
PPII stays in my cab more... it includes Fuji (the original PP track). PPII sounds are different than PP... some prefer the original... few prefer PPII... both are cool to me though I'd give PP the edge on engine sound.

I totally agree on the sounds. Also I think I go 360 kph on PP and only 264 on pp2 :)
