Summary

Taito Chase H.Q. (often just called Chase H.Q.) feels like a high‑octane sprint through a neon‑lit cityscape, even though it’s rendered in simple 3D on the NES. You sit behind a turbo‑charged Porsche, side‑by‑side with a partner, and the goal is pure pursuit – catching a convoy of souped‑up roadsters that seem to have a vendetta against the law.

One button does the heavy lifting: hit the Turbo button and the car rockets forward, giving you that sudden burst of speed that makes the screen blur. The game throws you from bustling streets into gritty dirt tracks and cramped tunnels, demanding quick reflexes to stay on the line. It’s a relentless chase that keeps the adrenaline pumping from start to finish.

Storyline

Chase H.Q. (the NES version of Taito’s classic arcade title) puts you behind the wheel of a sleek black Porsche 928 as a police officer on a mission. You play as Tony Gibson, a member of the Chase Special Investigation Department, and you’re not alone – your partner Raymond Broady works alongside you to bring down fleeing criminals. Each level begins with a call from Nancy at Chase HQ, who contacts you over the radio to brief the next pursuit. The radio frequency she uses is typically somewhere between 144 MHz and 148 MHz, adding a realistic touch to the high‑speed chases.
