The MSX Version of Chase H.Q. was another disastrous conversion from the ZX Version made by amateur programmers who broke everything in the game: the ending was missing, incompatible routines, leftovers of ZX Spectrum that caused random crashes...
This version fix most of this issues and provides some minor cosmetic enhancements on MSX2 systems as well as R800 CPU acceleration that makes this version probably the fastest one among all the existing platforms.
It also benefits from the MegaROM form factor so the game can be enjoyed without annoying interruptions or loadings. 64KB of RAM are required.
Chase H.Q. (チェイスH.Q., "Chase Headquarters") is a vehicular combat racing game, originally released as an arcade game by Taito in 1988. It is sometimes seen as a spiritual successor to Taito's earlier Full Throttle. The player assumes the role of a police officer named Tony Gibson, member of the "Chase Special Investigation Department". Along with his partner, Raymond Broady, he must stop fleeing criminals in high-speed pursuits in a black Porsche 928.
Chase H.Q. was ported to many home computers by Ocean Software in 1989, including versions for the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, MSX, Amiga and Atari ST. Taito produced versions for the Family Computer (1989), Game Boy (1990), Master System (1990), TurboGrafx-16 (1990), Game Gear (1991) and Saturn (1996). It was released for PlayStation 2 in Japan in 2007 as part of Taito Memories II Volume 2.
The game was a commercial success, becoming Japan's highest-grossing dedicated arcade game of 1989 while also becoming a hit overseas for arcades and home systems. The game was also well received by critics. It was followed by three arcade-based sequels: Special Criminal Investigation (1989), Super Chase: Criminal Termination (1992) and Chase H.Q. 2 (2007). Two spin-offs were also released: Crime City (1989) and Quiz H.Q. (1990).
