Chase H.Q. (The Hit Squad)

The idea is to race through the streets of America and smash the hell out of particular cars that are carrying criminals on the run. A meter at the side of the screen indicates how many more hits are needed to stop the fugitive. This may sound simple, but other obstacles such as cars and winding roads are a hazard to your progress. Not only that, you also have a time limit to find the car and then another time limit to stop it - it's a tough job, but somebody''s gotta do it.

Each stage gets progressively more difficult with more obstacles and faster cars to chase.

Despite the simplistic graphics, this conversion has been nicely presented, and still includes most of the coin-op's playability. Definitely worth a look - especially for lovers of high-speed action.
