Play Taito Chase H.Q. (Japan) on gb Online

I first played Taito Chase H.Q. on the Game Boy back in 1990, a portable version of the arcade racer developed by Taito Corporation. It was a time when handheld games were often simpler, scaled down experiences, but this one tried to pack a surprising amount of action into that little green screen. It stood out for attempting to deliver a genuine pursuit game on hardware not really known for speed.

You control a police sports car, weaving through traffic to catch fleeing criminals before they escape. Your main objective is to ram their vehicle repeatedly until it stops. Key mechanics include managing your limited turbo boost for sudden bursts of speed and carefully timing your side swipes to avoid innocent cars. The pacing is relentless; one mistake can cost you the entire chase. It feels tense and immediate, like you're really in a high speed duel on a tiny screen.
