Chase HQ is an arcade racing game, released in 1988 by Taito. In the game the player assumes the role of a, Miami Vice inspired, police officer chasing after a fleeing criminal.

At the start of each level the player is informed who they are pursuing, and are quite a distance from them: They must apprehend the criminal before their time limit expires. The criminal's car is constantly moving away, so if the player repeatedly crashes or drives too slowly, then the criminal will escape. At some point during the game the road splits, and the correct turn must be taken, otherwise it will take longer to catch the criminal.

When their vehicle is reached, the time limit is extended; the vehicle must be rammed a number of times until the criminal is forced to stop, and then arrested.
