You get orders to catch dangerous criminals on the highway by shooting and hitting their cars.
After the disappointing and very bad first part, Ocean took another programming team and made
a nice version. This is one of the cartridges designed for the C64GS game console and it
also supports video console game pads.

CHASE H.Q. 2
SCENARIO
Truth and Justice are the by-words of the Bureau of Special
Criminal Investigations. Now you are to embark on the most
important case of your life. The Mayor's daughter has been
kidnapped by a band of vicious lawbreakers. She is being held
within a warehouse somewhere on the south side. You will have to
complete six missions before you can save her. Each successful
mission will provide a new clue that will, eventually, lead you
the girl's location. However, it's a race against time because
her only company is a time bomb!

IMPORTANT: ENSURE THE MACHINE IS SWITCHED OFF. NEVER ATTEMPT TO
INSERT OR REMOVE THE GAME CARTRIDGE WITH THE POWER ON.

GAMEPLAY
Karen, from Chase Headquarters, will send a description of the
criminal's vehicle to your on-board computer. You have a limited
time period to catch up with the offender. A further time bonus
will then be given to either shoot or ram the car off the road.
Ramming into other vehicles slows you down, making capture more
difficult.
A limited supply of Nitro Boosts gives you a short period of
extra acceleration. But use these wisely! When you have inflicted
the necessary amount of damage the criminal's car will pull over
to the side of the road where he can be arrested.
Six, progressively difficult, missions will take you through a
variety of towns and landscapes. During the game you will be
offered improved weaponry with limited ammunition from a
helicopter flying overhead.
Watch out for innocent drivers who may delay your progress via
their appalling driving skills.
Above all -- remember that time is ticking away, crimes are being
committed and the bad guys are getting away!
STATUS AND SCORING
You have 60 seconds to catch up with the target vehicle and then
a further 60 seconds in which to inflict as much damage to the
criminal as possible by either shooting or ramming it off the
road.
Points are scored as follows:
PASSING SHOOTING RAMMING
PORSCHE 500 PTS 50 PTS 50 PTS
BLUE VAN 400 PTS 50 PTS 50 PTS
BLUE CAR 300 PTS 50 PTS 50 PTS
LIMOUSINE 200 PTS 50 PTS 50 PTS
MOTORBIKE 100 PTS 50 PTS 50 PTS
CONVOY CARS 10 PTS 1000 PTS
CRIMINAL CARS 100 PTS 10000 PTS
Any time left on the clock on each level will be awarded x 10000.
After you have caught up with a car a damage indicator will
appear on screen. This will show how much damage you have caused
to the target vehicle. When this indicator is full your car will
automatically overtake the criminals and stop them.
HINTS & TIPS
* Only use your turbo when ramming the target vehicle.
* Slow down on tight bends or when driving near water.
* Take your time when ramming to increase your score.
* You will score less when using the "Continue Play" option.
