Play Taito Chase H.Q. Online

I first played Taito's Chase H.Q. on the Sega Master System back in 1989. It was a straightforward port of the arcade game, fitting right in with the kind of action titles that were common on the system at the time. You didn't get a lot of story; you just got straight into the driver's seat of a police sports car and went after criminals.

You control a special agent driving a high performance vehicle. Your main objective is to chase down and ram a target car within a strict time limit. The signature mechanics involve accelerating through traffic, using a nitro boost for sudden bursts of speed, and repeatedly colliding with the fugitive's vehicle to damage it. The pacing is relentless; you're constantly swerving to avoid slower cars while trying to close the distance. It feels like a tense, high speed pursuit where every second and every collision counts.
