Dick Tracy Overview
Alt. Names:
ディックトレイシー
"Dick Tracy" for the NES is a platform-based action game where the player controls the detective through a series of side-scrolling levels. The narrative motivation involves Tracy seeking revenge after a gangster murders his wife's father, though the game does not strictly adhere to its movie source material.
Gameplay involves navigating left and right while confronting numerous gunmen. Enemies approach from both the foreground and the background, requiring Tracy to use different weapons: a pistol for foes on his plane and a machine gun for those at a distance. If an adversary gets too close, the character will resort to punching instead of firing.
