Bandai released their version of Dick Tracy in August 1990. The objective is to solve several mysteries without accusing the wrong person or shooting too many unarmed villains. Each level starts out with a case to solve, and some possible clues. The player drives Tracy's vehicle through the city, avoiding snipers and other cars, to various locations mentioned in the clues, where the action shifts to a side-scrolling adventure game. If the player goes to the right location, he will find, during the course of his side-scrolling fighting, a clue icon that provides additional clues for the case, or the player will be able to speak with a character from the comics who give clues. There is one car chase in each level. Once the player has collected enough clues, he can drive to the location where the perpetrator is and arrest him.

Ace detective Dick Tracy pored over the
crime files and mug shots that littered the
desk in his dimly lit office down at police
headquarters. "This crime wave has to be
the work of Big Boy Caprice," he thought to
himself. "I can smell his greasy handiwork
behind each of these cases. But, I need to get
some hard evidence on him. If only I can
nab some of his hoods—Itchy, Flattop, and
the rest. Id rearrange their thinking and
have them singing like that nightclub tempt-
ress, Breathless Mahoney. Then I could put
Caprice behind bars for good." Suddenly
Tracy's two-way wrist radio seized the
detective' attention... "Calling Dick Tracy,
Calling Dick Tracy." He sprang to his feet
and burst into the squad room shouting,
"O.K., boys, let' go. This could be our
big break!"
