Sega Saturn - Taito Chase H.Q. Plus S.C.I.

Title: Taito Chase H.Q. Plus S.C.I. / タイトーチェイスＨ．Ｑ．＋Ｓ．Ｃ．Ｉ．

Developer/Publisher: Taito

Release date: 9 August 1996

Catalogue No.: T-1105G

Genre: Compilation / Police Racing Action

Sega's Saturn sure had a load of retro games released from Sega themselves, Konami, Irem, Capcom, and now Taito. To be honest, Taito's retro collection is one of the best bar Sega's with titles such as Darius II, Night Striker S and Elevator Action Returns (released by Ving), and now both Chase H.Q. and S.C.I. (Special Criminal Investigation).

Chase H.Q. is showing its age these days (written in 2024) and looks quite poor compared to Sega's Out Run. I never remember it looking as bad as it does now. So, let's forget about the looks for a minute, and let me tell you that the Saturn port is arcade-perfect and still great fun to play. Fans of the original arcade or home versions (not Master System) (-_-) will never forget that "Let's Go Mr. Driver" at the beginning of each round. The car you drive in Chase H.Q. is a Porsche 928.

S.C.I. still looks half decent for its age thanks to the advanced scaling used in that game over Chase H.Q. The controls were a little dodgy on the Saturn pad. I mean shooting and driving at the same time is not as easy as it sounds. The car you drive in S.C.I. is a Nissan 300ZX Z32.

Overall, this is a good retro pack and quite a rare one at that. Well worth a purchase for any retro freak.

PC Engine - S.C.I.

Title: S.C.I.

Developer/Publisher: Taito

Release date: 25 January 1991

Catalogue No.: TP03016

Genre: Combat Driving

Format: HuCard

SCI on the PC Engine is a stunning conversion. Seems like Taito learned a lot from their somewhat compromised Chase HQ PCE port. It contains nearly all of the features that were in the arcade machine - even the speech! The background and roadside graphics throughout are excellent and scroll along at an alarming rate. The car sprites are also very detailed and move quite intelligently across the track trying to block you. Finally, music and effects are superb, translating the coin-op with all its sonic glory.

健太郎居候実際にセガ初代アウトラン及びTAITO『S.C.I.』をアーケードでプレイしてました。本来は我輩自身結婚出来て授かりもの出来て無事故無違反継続している譯ですが、ニート３年以上やっていた為めちゃめちゃになりました。

陸上自衛隊採用試験１次試験受かり２次試験落とされ、人工大理石加工兼マンション向けシステムキッチン製作全般業務すら製品受注者減少による人員削減受けられ解雇されたのを深く反省せねばならないのは間違いございませんでした。2025年秋附け『50歳』則ち『ハーフ・センチュリー』ですから、ふざけた行動出来ないのを忘れてはならない為改心出来ればいいなと考えられます。
