Chase H.Q. Longplay (Arcade) [60 FPS]

[@Woody991]

My favourite arcade game when I was a kid. This still looks good today! What a game.

[@mrt445]

A company should come along that creates 90's type arcade games with the same colourful cartoon aesthetic but in 2.5D graphics.

[@bengejuknowit3048]

This game used to make you feel like Crockett & Tubbs from Miami Vice in the arcades!

[@sharptoothtrex4486]

Even if Tom Selleck and David Hasselhoff work together also.

[@Ian16545]

Heh, maybe even Starsky and Hutch too.

[@bengejuknowit3048]

@@Ian16545 I loved their iconic white striped car!

[@delbertwhitejr.3539]

I sometimes felt Vibes of Bad Boys 1 with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence when I would play this game.... mostly because of the Porsche 911 Will was driving.

[@Microphunktv-jb3kj]

arcade games had always better graphics than NES equalents (because better hardware)

[@ugh.idontwanna]

Mr. Driver doesn't really need much info before he starts ramming into people's cars. Do you ever reckon Nancy ever ordered him to go after people she didn't like - like somebody who bullied her in school or an old ex? "Ian, the Pensylvania heartbreaker is fleeing in a Korean sedan. Over."

[@heartwilson.8943]

I like the account and profile .

[@giegue.8550]

Well he is a undercover cop so basically he can harass whoever he wants

[@1984AP]

They did an amazing job with the sounds of this game. Really sounds like a 911 starting. Love the different tones of tire squeal, and the voices are great too.

[@AndrewNutley-lf9uy]

Yeah except that it's quite obviously a 928!

[@YtseFrobozz]

Never noticed this before, but I like how when they're chasing the other Porsche, the guy laments that they have to smash into it.

[@bigwill6492]

I love this game this should be remade for modern consoles

[@hollywoodsaint57]

one of my favorite arcade games of the 80s.....I still say "OH MAN!" "PUSH IT MORE!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rego023]

I was always a bit rubbish at this and rarely managed to get past the second stage in the arcades. Nice to finally see it completed after all these years!

[@BennyboyTruth]

Depends how tight the arcade owner was. Once you have it loaded up in MAME you can change the virtual DIP switches to change the difficulty level and add more turbos 😀

[@daniellikahong]

Back in the arcades, this sound would only stand out of all the other arcade machines: WOUWOUWOUWWUWOWUWOWUWOUWOUWOUWOUWUO!!!

[@PowerUpJohn]

It had a red and blue light bar like police cars often do that started fladhing whenever your car was close to the bad guy's target car, also.

[@Dukefazon]

When I was a kid my only encounter with arcade machines was the local confectionery. For some reason the guy who ran the place got in 1 or 2 arcade machine, they were in rotation. One of them was Chase HQ. I was very young but I was obsessed with the graphics, the sound and gameplay. I always watched a guy play it. A game wasn't that expensive but I didn't have any money. Finally I got a coin and I was so nervous when I put it in, I could barely start the game and even though I tried my hardest, I ran out of time before the first checkpoint. I was disappointed, I wanted to play more but I didn't have more coins :( But still liked the games and whenever someone played I was there to watch.

[@Sonnyblack100]

Bless that story , I used to get a 30 min bus ride to go play shinobi with £1 , that got me 5 goes , I loved the 80s

[@Andrewmoon-d5q]

Lots of good memories with this game. Take me back to the 80's please.

[@Jayce_Alexander]

I would love to see Hamster Corporation pick this up and put it on PS4 and Switch in the Arcade Archives collection. They've already got a bunch of Taito games , and this is definitely one of the more popular Taito arcade games.

[@DBergkamp]

Seconded!

[@mrmusicverse]

I wonder which Taito games they have.

[@jakethesnake95]

This game was way ahead of its time. The graphics, the speech quality... Just amazing!

[@kuningas7]

I think not. Having played both Outrun (1986) and this (1988) at the arcade I think you could say it about Outrun but this came two years later and did not do anything better than it did except the speech obviously.

[@gordonm6108]

@@kuningas7 This game had so much more to do than Outrun though (which I also loved and still play to this day)

[@deannelson1388]

Thanks for the memories.. remember going down the local arcade with mates just to play this.. one of my mates who has sadly passed away was so good at this game.

The graphics are pretty badass. Great sense of speed.

[@matool78]

Absolutely loved this game in the arcade. When I was a kid my father gifted to me the C64 disk version. I had no heart of telling him the truth about the quality of that gift

[@nirv]

"This piece of crap is nothing like the arcade version. Thanks a lot." --Truth about the quality

[@shows4learning]

Amiga version was bad too. The sequel, SCI, was pretty good on Amiga though.

[@MegaasAlexandros]

One of the worst conversions c64 made along with double dragon.

[@WillScarlet1991]

@@MegaasAlexandros The Speccy version is fantastic. Did you expect it to have the speed of the arcade? 🙄

[@WillScarlet1991]

@@MegaasAlexandros It was rated pretty high in the Speccy market. And I actually played it so many times. It really pushed the Spectrum's limits. A great effort all around by the programmers.

[@MastersGraduate2023]

Intense game of the 80's . The police looks like Miami Vice Crocket & Tubbs.

[@BrooksterMax]

Discovered this arcade game in the 90s on the ferries to and from France as a young child. Loved watching others play as had no money. The sound and graphics were outstanding at the time. Knocking over the barriers, the helicopter, the recognisable cars, the voice acting - all phenomenal. I think it holds up well today and thanks to emulators can enjoy it.

[@biomechanikaxx4722]

I searched for this for years. When I was a kid in the early 90's and we are on vacation, there was an arcade machine with this game. Experiencing this game after 30 years, like a time machine. Great nostalgia! Thanks for uploading it.

[@DSilkSmooth]

This is exactly my memory of this game as well. On holiday in France (from the UK at that time) and the campsite I stayed at had this arcade game and I was hooked as an 10 year old.

[@Balor]

Ah nostalgia. Played this a lot in local arcade hall :3

[@otsenres1636]

This game and Spyhunter were my favorite drive and destroy arcades!!

[@miketate3445]

The frequencies that the radio tunes to are in the Ham (amateur) range. I played this arcade quite a bit when I was a kid!

That's some really clear speech with no artifacting, I bet a lot of the storage went on that.

[@AloanMoreira1]

I'm surprised! for the time yeah!

[@paulgascoigne5343]

What's worrying is how you can apply the same speech to a porno and it not be the least out of place.

[@kz1000ps]

Scrolled down to the comments specifically for this. You can hear some artifacting in the higher frequencies like when he says "PLEASE!" but for 1988 it's really insanely clean. One of those developers must've been out of his mind obsessed with audio fidelity to have those samples be taking up that much damn memory!
