Players take the role of Tony Gibson, an officer of the special “Chase Headquarters” task force, whose mission is to bring dangerous criminals to justice.

Each stage begins with a briefing call identifying the suspect and their vehicle, after which the chase begins.
Gameplay is divided into two phases.
First, players must race through city streets, highways, tunnels, and winding mountain roads to catch up with the suspect’s car before the timer runs out.
Traffic and roadside obstacles must be avoided, as collisions slow progress and waste precious time.
Once the target vehicle is reached, the second phase begins: ramming the fleeing car repeatedly until it is disabled.
Extra time is granted during this phase, but suspects often require numerous hits before being stopped.
To aid the pursuit, the patrol car is equipped with a limited number of turbo boosts that deliver sudden bursts of speed.
Each case presents different criminals to apprehend, including smugglers, kidnappers, and gang leaders, with their vehicles ranging from sports cars to trucks.
Levels grow progressively more difficult, demanding quick reflexes, efficient driving, and precise timing to complete.
Distinctive for its time, Chase H.Q. combined the fast-paced thrills of arcade racing with a crime-fighting theme, setting it apart from other racers.
The emphasis on cinematic car chases, branching roads, and aggressive takedowns made it a defining entry in the police pursuit subgenre, and it remained a popular arcade and home conversion title well into the 1990s.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Chase for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Chase to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 2012.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Chase, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Entertainment System titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
