Taito Chase H.Q. (Sega Master System review)

Developer: Taito
Publisher: Sega Enterprises, Ltd.
Released: 1990

Taito Chase H.Q. is an action-driving game that was originally released in the Arcade in 1988.

+ Action is blisteringly fast with an excellent frame-rate throughout, and the post-mission arrest screens are a great reward.

+ It's a rush when you get a criminal in your sights, and systematically destroying their car against the strict timer is thrilling.

+ Ability to upgrade your vehicle aides strategy, especially as the expensive Super Charger requires thrifty spending to afford.

- Ultimately, the gameplay is a one-trick pony and once you've seen a couple of stages it essentially has nothing else to offer.

- Car handling changes dramatically when approaching a tunnel and your vehicle suddenly feels like it's on an ice rink.

- Provides minimal detail about each criminal, so it's hard to get too invested in their story and bringing them to justice.

- Gameplay loops after just five brief stages, and the dreadful music consists of rudimentary bloops and bleeps.
