Chicago 90

About

Chicago 90 drops you into the driver’s seat of a 1989 crime thriller. Choose to play as a gangster fleeing Chicago’s streets or a cop chasing them down. As a criminal, your goal is to escape the city while dodging police roadblocks. In the law enforcement mode, you command up to five cars to cut off the gangster’s escape routes and bring them to justice. The game’s split design lets you switch between opposing sides, though the overall runtime remains tight. The standout here is the dual-perspective approach, which was fresh for late ’80s racing games. While the track variety is limited, the contrast between evading and pursuing adds replay value. Released in 1989, it’s a relic of early arcade-inspired street racing with pixelated vehicles and blocky environments. Best for players curious about retro law-and-order racers or fans of quick, concept-driven challenges.
