Chase HQ (GB)

In Chase HQ for Game Boy Color, you step into the shoes of Tony Gibson, a police officer in a special unit dedicated to apprehending dangerous criminals. Your primary mission is to drive your powerful car, catch up to, and apprehend the criminal's vehicle within a strict time limit.

The gameplay of Chase HQ revolves around intense, high-speed pursuits. The screen displays your car at the bottom, along with a ticking countdown timer. Your objective is to locate and catch up to the target criminal's vehicle. Once you've approached your target, you need to repeatedly ram their car to damage it. Each successful collision reduces the criminal car's "Damage" bar. When this bar is depleted, the car will stop, and the criminal is apprehended.

To succeed, players must navigate through various environments such as highways, city streets, deserts, and mountains, all rendered with a surprising sense of speed despite the Game Boy Color's hardware limitations. Along the way, you will encounter checkpoints that replenish the countdown timer, allowing you to continue your pursuit. Failing to hit enough checkpoints or not dealing enough damage to the criminal's car within the time limit will result in mission failure. The game features multiple distinct missions, each introducing a new criminal with their unique vehicle, requiring players to adapt to their speed and maneuverability. The ultimate goal is to complete all missions and become the unit's hero.
