As an undercover agent of Chase Headquarters, your job is to patrol the streets and track down five criminals. You are given a mission briefing before you start which gives information on the suspect and what car they drive.

However, once you've caught up with your suspect, you are given more time. Your car is also equipped with turbo boosts, which you can use to gain extra speed if you are way behind the criminal. Each arrest is based on a "suspicion".

Harukaze Sentai V-Force

Harukaze Sentai V-Force

Sony Playstation - Released - November 15, 1996

Harukaze Sentai V-Force story revolves around the lives and dramas of three girls who are charged with saving the world and repelling alien invaders. The main game is a strategy simulation where you control the crack trio of mech-driving girls who go on roughly 40 different missions. The missions take place on the planet and escalate into full scale campaigns that take place in outer space. A variety of beautifully done animation sequences move the in-game story along and complement the action well. The sequences are high quality and are spread out over the game's 3 CD-Roms. V-Force is a familiar mix of strategy and animation that we have seen in a number of other products released in Japan for the Saturn and Playstation. The view in the strategy portion of the game is an isometric one where you move your battle units on a grid overlay. Each phase will have you moving, fighting and defending, depending on your situation. During a campaign, you will have intermittent conversations and data relayed to you via a spatial com-link that floats above the main battle screen. The chatter sets up mission goals and objectives.

Tatsujin Ou

Tatsujin Ou

Fujitsu FM Towns Marty - Released - 1993

Volcanic eruptions have been occurring on a deserted planet somewhere in deep space for quite some time. Then, on a fateful day, they culminated in a gigantic explosion, and a terrifying creature appeared. It is the emperor of the Gidans, thought to be defeated in the last galactic war. Now, the threat is back: the Gidans army is quickly assembled, and in a short time they dominate the galaxy again. Only a handful of refugees escape to deliver the news to the astroport. A pilot navigating the HyperFighter One aircraft is sent to stop the Gidans once and for all. Like its predecessor, Tatsujin Ou (also known as Truxton II) is a vertically scrolling shooter. The gameplay is very similar to that of the first game: the player-controlled aircraft has three basic weapons (distinguished by the colors of corresponding power-ups) and bombs at his disposal. The rest of the power-ups are also the same as in the first game: increasing the ship's speed, the amount of bombs, and the lives of the player characters. A special power-up can also summon two wingmen to fight alongside the hero. Beside the single-player mode, the game also includes co-op multiplayer.

The NewZealand Story

The NewZealand Story

Fujitsu FM Towns Marty - Released - 1989

One day, a kiwi tribe was having fun and games outside the zoo, only to be kidnapped by the evil-minded Leopard Seal, who plans to sell them at the black market. Fortunately, during the kidnapping process, Tiki, leader of the tribe, managed to escape the sack, and her job is to rescue Phee-Phee and the other kiwis scattered around New Zealand, and are held in cages in various locations that include Auckland, Rotorua, Waitomo Caves, Strait Cook, and Mt. Cook. If Tiki doesn't rescue a kiwi in a limited amount of time, the devil will appear and try to kill her. When Tiki reaches the outskirts of each city, except Strait Cook, there is a boss waiting to meet Tiki, and kill her by using their own choice of weapons. Also making the rescue mission difficult are several nasties that attempt to throw their own weapons, like bombs and arrows, at her. To defeat these enemies, Tiki shoots at them using her crossbow and arrows. More often than not, when Tiki shoots at enemies, they will leave behind pieces of fruit that she can pick up for points. However, it is likely that Tiki may get other weapons or the letters E, X, T, E, N, and D. Collecting all these letters will result in an extra life, and as for the weapons, they include laser shots, bombs, and fireballs. In some levels, a few areas are located further up than just left or right, and the only way that Tiki can go up is by snatching something off the enemy that gives her the ability to fly up. Other areas are underwater, and when Tiki goes underwater, her oxygen meter decreases, so she has to rise up to the surface again to restore her oxygen levels. Apart from her own weapons, Tiki is able to squirt water at enemies if she gets to the top of the water.
