Yeah...I would have *never* equated Night Striker as being anywhere close to a Chase HQ-ish game. Night Striker, though it's great and I love it, would be more akin to stuff like Space/Planet Harriers, and games like that. Are we opening up the thread topic to such games as well?
Well, Night Striker and Chase HQ have many common points from gameplay-aside perspective:
- In both you're a cop
- In both you drive a car
- Both are made by Taito
In an alternate universal, Soldier Blade II has already been crafted by Hudson Soft and Compile with proper tate this time around (c) PC Engine Fan X!
Sega tried and failed. Nintendo didn't even try. (c) Specineff

Super Chase in the arcade is also pretty decent, but maybe a bit messy. Road Rash on 3do/Saturn/PSX/etc is good too (best of series?)
Regarding RoadBlasters, the Global Arcade Classics cabinet is not the way to play it. You use the joystick and the car will not self center when you release it. I'd rather play the Genesis version (Only the voices are missing - shame Tengen didn't make it a 6 Meg cart instead of 4 so that the voices could've been kept) or MAME. I've tried Spy Hunter II - which comes off as a sad RB wannabe.
There needs to be a special Global Arcade Classics Racing Edition sitdown cab made for driving games.
Super Chase isn't "messy" IMO. The first-person view may put some off, but I still like it - actually more than the recent Chase HQ 2 which was developed by GameWax. Yack's BGM for it is amazing - esp. "Dandy Lady" from stage 1, and the track from the hilariously Engrish laden intro.
Spy Hunter II was offensively bad back in the day. It has patently decayed with time, and is best completely forgotten.
You're, what, the second or third person to disagree with my assessment of Super Chase as messy? Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong game, or we're talking about different versions. I'm specifically referring to the arcade version, in the arcade cabinet. No ports, here. Are we speaking of the same game?
I love this game. It's arcade only. The idea is great and it's superb fun for two players (one drives one shoots).
Oddly there's a ton of these in mainland China - when I was there I found one in every arcade, but before that I'd never seen it in my life.
Pumped plenty of credits into it!
