Special Criminal Investigation Longplay (Arcade) [4K]

Developed and published by Taito in 1989

With its 80s Miami Vice vibes, Chase H.Q. is regarded as an all-time arcade classic, so it's not surprising a sequel would follow. Special Criminal Investigation sticks closely to the tried-and-tested formula set out by its predecessor: hunting down criminals in a souped-up sports car and battering them into submission, but the sequel adds firearms into the mix, with your partner riding, quite literally, shotgun, with you peppering vehicles with bullets and buckshot for good measure!

It's interesting to note that only the home releases actually added Chase H.Q. II to the title, whereas the arcade went under the shorter monker, SCI. In any case, it's a decent driving game, although I think the original is more iconic.
