Dick Tracy
From: Sega
Year: 1990
Format: Sega Megadrive/Genesis
Dick gets a call (far left) cleans up the streets (left) then the train
yard (right) and finally the shooting range (far right)
Comments:
An extremely dull and repetitive platform action game following the plot of the film. Complete all three stages of the level and you get a bonus round where you practice your shooting on the shooting range. The scrolling action has Dick shooting and punching enemies in the foreground and gunning down crooks in the background. A very early 16-bit game and it shows.

Comments: You play Dick Tracy as he walks along the very long roads that lead to the boss gangster. But on your way are men in blue coats who want to hit you in the face until you die so Dick must protect himself with his fists and any guns he can lay his hands on. Locations from the film make up the backgrounds. Not bad. Also released for the Amstrad console known as the GX 4000.
