Game Overview

Super H.Q. - Criminal Chaser is one of those weird little SNES games that somehow makes police work feel like a high-speed puzzle. You're not just flooring it after crooks—you're juggling roadblocks, backup units, and whether to slam into their car before they escape. Mess up, and suddenly you're out of gas or your squad's in shambles.

It's got that early '90s arcade vibe, but with way more strategy than you'd expect. The Japan-only release means it slipped under the radar for most people, which is a shame because nailing a perfect pursuit feels ridiculously satisfying. If you've ever wanted to play as the cops in OutRun but with actual consequences, this is your game.

Just don't blame me when you realize you've spent an hour replaying Stage 3 to get the flawless arrest bonus.
