Hot Chase Longplay (Arcade) [QHD]
Developed and published by Konami in 1988
Released in 1988, Hot Chase feels very much like Konami's high-octane answer to Sega's OutRun, and Taito's Chase H.Q. This is yet another technically impressive sprite-based racing game with fancy sprite-scaling tech, and it's pretty good fun.
I guess Konami's approach was to simply keep the core driving mechanic, but reverse just about everything else. Instead of chasing down criminals, you're the one who's on the run, and whereas Chase H.Q. involved slamming into offender's vehicles to do damage, the objective here is to avoid taking damage for as long as possible.
Given that you'll be assaulted by everything from gunships to RPG-equipped troops, this is easier said than done. You'll need to have quick reactions to deal with obstacles in the road ahead, and driving off-road through forest, scrubland and glacial ice-flows is sure to keep even the most adept driver on their toes.
Overall, Hot Chase is decent showing from Konami, certainly better than WEC Le Mans, their other arcade racer released around the same time, mainly because it's possible to actually beat Hot Chase!

"hey, what if we took outrun and made it the polar opposite of chill"
1988 was possibly the best year ever for arcades. This was another classic i remember playing at Pizza Hut
We really need a remake with current graphics and physics of this.
So the plot is that you have bomb in the car and you have limited time until it explodes and destroys the car. Therefore you must hurry, avoid obstacles and heavy enemy fire, keep the car running so you can cross the border so you can shoot the car yourself to destroy it.
That ending
Pop quiz hotshot - there's a bomb in your car, and it's gonna explode if you run out of quarters.
Ok, here's the final question, for one million dollars. You're driving a car in which a bomb has been planted. What do you do to avoid detonation?
you have succeeded in stealing
This looks really neat here!
Been looking for the name of this game for years, I remember playing it at my friend's family corner store like 20 year ago, and it was hard as balls to me back then lol
This game deserves a remake. It's epic !
Wow, I can’t believe that this game’s soundtrack uses 3 Konami K007232 sound chips as the only sound chips in the game!😄🤩😎👌
u stole a car to drive it to the border and to blow it up? what a Duke Nukem thing to do.
Thanks a million!🎉
The sprite scaling looks so blocky and pixelated compared to Outrun, it's hard to believe this came out a while later. There's even slowdown in a lot of places!
These roads sure could use some maintenance! XD
This is nuts!!
"Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb! 💣"
Another Porsche 959 game. Must have been quite popular at the time. Also in OutRun Europa and Big Run. This looks a lot like Big Run but with added danger!
Porsche more durable than a tank, big buff dude, corny ending, and VW Beetles going 120 MPH.
