A.B. Cop was great fun especially the ride on variant. Fast and fun as arcade games should be.

And Chase HQ was arguably the original and the one I enjoyed on the home computers of the day.

I wish I had played it in the arcades, but I don't think I even saw it.

I remember being disappointed with the Amiga version: small car sprite and quite drab graphics. The Spectrum and Amstrad versions are good 8-bit ports.

Yeah, definitely A.B. Cop, absolutely cracking game. The local cinema had the stand-up cab but I have played the DX version too.

Chase H.Q. is another game I’d always look for in an arcade… although my regular fix was via the Gameboy port.

I only really played Chase HQ out of that lot (maybe a tiny bit of S.C.I. on the Saturn). After avoiding other cars in racing games for years it was refreshing to have the added requirement of capturing bad guys by ramming them into submission. Felt proper Miami Vice too.

I remember being drawn in my the cab art (such an art form back then) of Cisco Heat too but the game was pretty disappointing from what i remember.

Looks like the Master System version in B&W.

It's funny how it's cop car racing. I don't think it was very good. The Amiga version isn't fun to play.

Hot Chase was whey cool recall playing it a lot and the OG street fighter on france ferry crossing.

Also enjoy Edward Randy's scaling sections very impressive.

Did Hot Chase ever come in a cabinet like Konami's other arcade racer, WEC Le Mans 24?

Yeah, that's a pretty impressive game. Should have had a Saturn port.

This is the only version I remember seeing and playing.

I also did a search and that is all I came up with. Maybe I'm getting confused because the graphics are so similar.

[Yakumo]

Hot Chase? Never heard of that one before.

Chase HQ - Loved this game so much back inthe time

Night Stiker - Such a cool looking game with some ace music and played very much like Space Harrier , but with a car

[Neon Ignition]

Chase HQ in the arcades is the only one of these I played, auto-win!

[DeathAdder]

Only played Chase HQ and SCI.

Apart from Night Striker, do any of the others have console ports?

They do not, just night striker and the chase hq games.
