Play Taito Chase H.Q. (Europe) Online

I first played Taito's Chase H.Q. on the Sega Master System back in 1990. It was a straightforward port of the arcade game, fitting right in with the era's focus on fast action and simple controls. The game didn't try to be anything more than what it was: a quick, high-speed pursuit.

You control a police sports car, chasing down criminals across multiple stages. Your main objective is to catch up to the target vehicle, ram it repeatedly until it stops, then arrest the driver before time runs out. Key mechanics include shifting gears for a speed boost, avoiding civilian traffic, and managing limited nitro bursts for critical overtakes. The pacing is relentless, and the difficulty spikes sharply if you fall behind. It feels like a tense, high-stakes race where every second counts.
