'''''Dick Tracy''''' is an action game based on the comic and movie of the same name. The player takes the role of none other than the great Dick Tracy, who must solve clues and bust bad guys. The game was very difficult because you only had one life and if you died you'd have to start the game all over again. There is however a password option too to start from any of the 5 cases in the game. Each case takes about 10 minutes to complete, making the game last about an hour.
