CHASE HQ II: SPECIAL CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS - OCEAN SCENARIO Truth and Justice are the by-words of the Bureau of Special Criminal Investigations. Now you are to embark on the most important case of your life. The Mayor's daughter has been kidnapped by a band of vicious lawbreakers. She is being held within a warehouse somewhere on the south side. You will have to complete six missions before you can save her. Each successful mission will provide a new clue that will, eventually, lead you the girl's location. However it's a race against time because her only company is a time bomb!

GAMEPLAY Karen, from Chase Headquarters, will send a description of the criminal's vehicle to your on-board computer. You have a limited time period to catch up with the offender. A further time bonus will then be given to either shoot or ram the car off the road. Ramming into other vehicles slows you down, making capture more difficult. A limited supply of Nitro Boosts gives you a short period of extra acceleration. But use these wisely! When you have inflicted the necessary amount of damage the criminal's car it will pullover to the side of the road where he can be arrested. Six, progressively difficult, missions will take you through a variety of towns and landscapes. During the game you will be offered improved weaponry with limited ammunition from a helicopter flying overhead. Watch out for innocent drivers who may delay your progress via their appalling driving skills. Above all - remember that time is ticking away, crimes are being committed and the bad guys are getting away! STATUS AND SCORING You have 60 seconds to catch up with the target vehicle and then a further 60 seconds in which to inflict as much damage to the criminal as possible by either shooting it or ramming it off the road. Points are scored as follows: PASSING SHOOTING RAMMING PORSCHE 500 PTS 50 PTS 50 PTS BLUE VAN 400 PTS 50 PTS 50 PTS BLUE CAR 300 PTS 50 PTS 50 PTS LIMOUSINE 200 PTS 50 PTS 50 PTS MOTORBIKE 100 PTS 50 PTS 50 PTS CONVOY CARS 10 PTS 1000 PTS CRIMINAL CARS 100 PTS 10000 PTS Any time left on the clock on each level will be awarded x 10000. After you have caught up with a car a damage indicator will appear on screen. This will show how much damage you have caused to the target vehicle. When this indicator is full your car will automatically overtake the criminals and stop them. HINTS AND TIPS Only use your turbo when ramming the target vehicle. Slow down on tight bends or when driving near water. Take your time when 'ramming' to increase your score. You will score less when using the 'continue play' option. S.C.I.
