Chase H.Q. is a thrilling racing game released in 1989 by Ocean Software and Taito Corporation. Set in the bustling streets of Los Angeles, players take on the role of an elite officer in the Special Criminal Investigation unit, tasked with pursuing dangerous criminals.
The game involves high-speed chases in a turbo-charged Porsche 928, where players must catch up to and ram the criminals off the road. Each mission presents a new challenge, with limited time to catch the target and a variety of obstacles to navigate.
Players receive instructions from Nancy at Chase Headquarters, who provides details about the criminals and their vehicles. The game features five increasingly difficult missions, each with unique landscapes and hazards.

Совершеннейший монстр и киллер в мире спектрумовских гонок. Прыжки, тараны, искры. Ограждения летают и кувыркаются, если их сбить. Просто и внятно сформулированы миссии. Всё продумано до мелочей и досуха выжимает из Спектрума его скромные соки.
И при этом, в отличие от Hard Drivin, почти не тормозит.
9/10.
