  2. There were both 240's and 260's if I remember correctly.

  3. Looks and acts like SEGA OUTRUN but with gunfire and murder.

  4. Wey hey, I've literally been waiting for one of your vids after a bit of a lousy day. You always manage to cheer us up 👍

  5. Mind blown. Played this in a midwest Pizza Hut for a large part of my youth. Never seen it anywhere else.

  6. If this game were my life in 1989 it would've taken me ten minutes to get my car started.

  7. Another leg acher of a game, right foot stamping on the accelerator and all your body weight on the left leg. Good game though.

  8. Oooohhhhh whaddda a Ruuuushhhhh! I hot this notification quick. This game is awesome, best in the series I think.

  9. That paint fade is so odd I'm wondering whether this one never was red, as there is no red on the marquee or the lettering either. Some weird fading for everything to of gone white.

  10. Very cool. And it wouldn't be a YT comments section without somebody saying "you're wrong!" The name Taito is pronounced like Tie Toe.

  11. "Datsun" …. I think that might have been the Japanese word for "Rust"?

  12. Outrun with guns and bazookas… what's not to like.

  13. It’s so beautiful! Only seen one of these. A high end electronics store had one. Had a chance to buy it from them but it was broken and they wanted $700.

  14. Those enemy cars have some wicked armor! What's it take – 150 hits from a bazooka to stop it?

  15. Sadly if the real police tried the Same tactics in the game they’d get sued . No respects the police these days .

  16. Brilliant game. I play this on my upright turbo outrun cab.. even better when I've drank a couple of beers! Excellent game!

  17. I know all leaked but I sure miss those t-tops. Sorry, you talking about the 280z reminded me of my 300z. My 280z didn't have t-tops but the 300z did. Nice machine (now talking about the game).

  18. Back home this game would be called D.C.W. – Daily Commute to Work 😅
    Actually never saw any S.C.I. but an arcade near my house had Chase H.Q. – lost lots of coins to that sucker!

  19. mike could speak fast not sure about reading that fast

  20. so let me get this straight there is a kidnapped child in the car and you are in a high speed chase trying to run them off the road and use bazookas and stuff to stop the car. Im sure that will end well LOL

  21. Bad guy walks into a dealership
    "What kind of car are you looking for?"
    "Gotta be able to take at least 5 bazooka hits"

  22. really loved the arcade games from the 80s especially the driving ones

  23. I like the fact that they shoot the hell out of the criminals cars despite the fact that the victims are also suppossed to be on board.

  24. I like that the car is a Nissan / Datsun 300ZX. That's a beauty!

  25. Man this takes me back!!, loved this game and Chase HQ they were my go to games in any arcade when I was a kid.
    Love the videos and thanks for posting.

  26. I seem to remember a two-player sit-down version of this..player 1 had the steering wheel, and both players had an Operaton Wolf-type pistol.

  27. I have an S.C.I. that I got working for a song. This cab does have force feedback FYI, I shut mine off by disconnecting the molex behind the wheel ha.
    I used to play this at my aunts Drive-In she owned when I was a kid; had to get a cab when I started collecting.
    Later man.

  28. HI Joe, Is there a common problem at to why these boards fail ?

  29. Very cool. I've never seen that shifter with the gun button on before. The one I played in my youth had gun buttons on the steering wheel with the nitro still on the shifter.

  30. Why does it keep saying RED in the game? Who is RED??

  31. Why do Chase HQ's and SCI's keep going down?

  32. Is it really that non PC? Sounds awesome to me 🙂

  33. The burn-in on that screen is from Ms. Pac-Man, a game not by Taito, lol

  34. Is this cab similar to chase HQ? I was thinking about making a multi can with the two if possible since I already own a working hq
