Play Chase H.Q. Online

Summary

Chase HQ drops you into a high‑octane sprint where every level starts with a 60‑second countdown to close the gap on a fleeing vehicle. The road constantly forks, so a wrong turn adds precious seconds and can let the target slip away, while the on‑screen radio humorously ticks at 144.x MHz—the 2‑meter ham band. Once you catch up, the timer is refreshed (typically another 60‑70 seconds) and you must repeatedly ram the suspect’s car until it finally stalls. The game packs just five stages, each ending with a hefty bonus for finishing without a continue or for shaving off time, and a 5‑million‑point jackpot for a perfect run. Technically, it pushes past Sega’s Out Run with sharper perspective, rolling hills and smoother track splits, which helped it become Japan’s top‑grossing arcade title of 1989 and a staple in UK coin‑ops.

Storyline

Chase H.Q. puts you behind the wheel of a black Porsche 928 as a Miami‑Vice style cop. You play as Tony Gibson, a member of the Chase Special Investigation Department.

Together with his partner Raymond Broady, Gibson pursues fleeing criminals in high‑speed chases, using a two‑speed gear shift and a turbo button on the side of the car. The focus is on fast, arcade‑style police action. Their goal is to apprehend the suspects.
