Dick Tracy
As big Dick, it's your task to roam the city streets, blasting and punching the cack out of the various hoods you come across in pursuit of the bizarrely monikered Big Boy.

What We Said Then
Jaz: If you're after a shoot-'em-up that doesn't feature lasers and alien space ships, Dick Tracy is a must.
Matt: The difficulty level is fine, but my major criticism is that the game is still very samey.
What We Say Now
Jaz: It's quite fun and pretty difficult, but it does get dull after a while. Graphics down to 79%, sound 60%, playability and lastability down 5% and overall 75%
Rich: This is okay, but to be honest, after a while I did find the gameplay to be quite repetitive. It does have a nice style to it, but give me Revenge Of Shinobi any time. I think these days it would score in the mid to late seventies.
