Game Gallery #5

Chase HQ (1988)
Arcade Version

To continue my ongoing battle against the tossers who tag their screenshots (*coughIGNcoughGamespotcough*), my next offering is the immortal Chase HQ. It was while writing my recent review of this great game that I decided to do this gallery as there were so many good screenshots I wanted to use for the review. Also, before anyone says anything - yes I have noticed that this fifth Game Gallery is the fourth to feature a game by Taito! It's not intentional and I'll try to feature a non-Taito game next time, but for now, allow me to present the this arcade great in its entirety:




Stage 1: White Lotus Esprit

"This is Nancy at Chase Headquarters, we've got an emergency here. Ralph, the Idaho slasher, is fleeing towards the suburbs. The target vehicle is a white British sports car. Over."












Stage 2: Yellow Lamborghini Countach

"This is Nancy at Chase Headquarters, we've got an emergency here. Carlos, the New York armed robber, has been spotted a yellow sports car on the freeway. Over."













Stage 3: White Porsche 911

"This is Nancy at Chase Headquarters, we've got an emergency here. A gang of Chicago pushers are fleeing towards the suburbs. The target vehicle is a German sports car. Over."













Stage 4: Blue Ferrari 288 GTO

"This is Nancy at Chase Headquarters. The L.A. kidnapper is speeding towards the outskirts of town in a blue two seater. Over."













Stage 5: Red Porsche 928

"This is Nancy at Chase Headquarters. The Eastern Bloc spy from Washington is fleeing towards the suburbs. The target vehicle is unknown. Over."













Ending:

Hooray, the bads guys are behind bars and the streets are safe... for now!

  1. Fantastic work mate, bet this took you a while to compile. I so do suck at this game and now I can finally see what the end of levels are like :)

  2. Cheers! Completing the game isn't too hard. Doing it while grabbing screenshots is harder! You might've spotted a few crashes in the some of the shots ;)

  3. Nice shots!

    I have this game for the Famicom. The graphics are nowhere near as good as the arcade version, which looks like something made for a 16 bit machine.

    Very fun and cool game though!
