Dick Tracy

Dick Tracy, released in January 1991 for the Sega Mega Drive and for the Sega Master System, was a side-scrolling arcade game where players control the famous hero through various stages to bring down Big Boy.

Tracy can walk, jump, duck, shoot a pistol, and use a Tommy gun to hit enemies and objects in the background. Each level had a series of sub-levels to it and bonus points awarded if you could avoid hitting any of the various objects in the background; i.e., windows, fire hydrants, and street lights.

One of the levels switches the action up slightly by having you control Tracy during a police chase. Several of the villains from the comic book appear, and the final battle with Big Boy takes place in a scene similar to the climax of the feature film.
