Rail Chase is a very aptly named Rail Shooter from Sega with two games in its series.The first game came out in 1991. In it, you play a pair of explorers named Flint and Mary who are visiting the South American village of Guaramure. While there, they hear that the Jewels of Guaramure, the village's guardian treasure which contains a supernatural power, has been stolen by the "Hearn" syndicate. Driven by the village's plight, the two infiltrate Hearn's cave and manage to locate the Jewels, with the intention of returning them to Guaramure. However, just as they get their hands on the statuette, the floor collapses underneath them and they land in a minecart. The two of them get rolling, and eventually find themselves pursued by natives and rival treasure hunters on Hearn's payroll.The game was noticeable for being a motion ride, an arcade cabinet with a seat that bobbed and weaved with the action on screen. The game was played with two joysticks that controlled the cross-hairs on screen. Oddly, the game never used a life bar; instead, the cart and the indicator on the top of the screen showed the distance between your cart and the boss. Attacks damaged your card until it was rendered unusable, allowing your pursers to catch up and finish you off. The game included four stages, each with their own pursuers who served as the bosses.Rail Chase 2 was released in 1994; it used the same motion ride seat as its predecessor, but swapped out the sprites for 3D graphics. This time around, Flint plays the role of an intrepid journalist hot on the heels of the disappearance of scientist Mary Bates, who he discovers was captured by the maniacal EKKL empire and forced to develop weapons for them. Flint infiltrates the weapons plant and retrieves Mary, but after the plant explodes, they are forced to make their escape in a rail cart with the empire's army in hot pursuit. Besides the graphical update, the game allows you to switch tracks and take different paths, allowing some great replay value. Unlike the original, this game uses standard life bars. | |

Minecart Madness | |
| Rail Chase (Video Game) / int_40ffe1af | comment |
Minecart Madness: The entire point of the series. All the action takes place on a moving minecart, with many of your enemies following along in their own. | |

Life Meter | |
| Rail Chase (Video Game) / int_84e189a8 | comment |
Life Meter: Averted in the first game as your cart and the indicator on top showed your distance from the boss. The more damage you took, the closer the cart would be pushed towards the boss. The second game plays it straight, however. | |

Art Shift: The first game begins with a cutscene drawn in a very sketchy, no color style similar to A Ha's "Take on Me" video. Then an earthquake happens and drops the two treasure hunters into the minecart, which shifts to the game proper. | |

| Rail Chase (Video Game) / int_9255105a | comment |
To Be Continued: The sequel's normal ending has a "Flint & Mary Will Continue Their Adventure in RAIL CHASE 3" message, which naturally doesn't appear in the secret ending where the player kills them. No third game was ever made. | |

Putting on the Reich | |
| Rail Chase (Video Game) / int_bcba27a1 | comment |
Putting on the Reich: The EKKL empire in the second game is pretty much the Third Reich in all but name and color. They use the same uniforms (although most of the goons wear bright blue uniforms), vehicles, and everything. Even the flyer◊ depicts a guy wearing a Nazi-esque uniform and helmet. | |

Have a Nice Death: In the first game, whenever your cart got too damaged to continue. You get a first person view of your pursuer catching up and delivering the killing blow. | |
