Chase H.Q. (チェイスＨ.Ｑ.), often known as Taito Chase H.Q. (タイトーチェイスＨ.Ｑ.), is an action-driving game developed by Taito. Originally released in arcades, it was ported to a variety of systems, including the PC Engine and TurboGrafx-16.

This version of the game was also made available on the Wii Virtual Console.

Gameplay

Players take control of two police detectives as they attempt to capture criminals who are fleeing the city with their high speed cars. After evading other cars and obstacles and finally reaching the target, players must cause enough damage to the fugitive vehicle before the time limit to finish the stage. While attacking from behind also works, hitting from sides causes most damage. Turbo boosts can be used (limitedly, 3 in each stage) for short time maximum speed.

A shop system exists in which players can purchase upgrades for their cars, for example bumpers to cause more damage, an extra turbo boost for the next stage, engine power-ups, and so on.

The game restarts from beginning with more difficult targets after all five stages are completed.
