Dick Tracy (ディックトレイシー) is a 1990 action game by Sega for the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Master System tying into the 1990 Dick Tracy film.
The game is an action game where Dick Tracy walks around killing bad guys to solve mysteries. The game exists in a pesudo-3D world where enemies either approach from where Dick is or from a distance "behind" him — therefore, Dick has to attack in two different ways. Due to the differences in the two consoles's controllers, controls for each version are slightly different. In order to make this explanation simple, we will use the first level, which takes place on a street with Dick walking along one sidewalk and the other enemies across the street, to explain the different attacks.
- Mega Drive:
shoots Dick's pistol horizontally to attack enemies approaching Dick on the sidewalk he is walking on — if an enemy is very close, Dick will simply punch him. 
shoots Dick's machine gun back at enemies across the street — Dick cannot walk while doing so; instead, the D-pad is used to aim. 
jumps.
- Master System:
jumps. Tapping 
uses the pistol and holding uses the machine gun in the same way as with the Mega Drive version.
