Dick Tracy adapts the comic strip detective's adventures into platform action on Master System. The art direction picks up the gaudy colors of the originals and the investigation chains with shooting phases. Honest for franchise fans, original in the license catalogue.

Collector interest

The Master System version of Dick Tracy never reached Europe or Japan and stayed confined to the US market, where the console was at its weakest against the NES. That limited release explains its relative scarcity, sharpened by demand from comics-licence collectors. Tied to Disney's 1990 film, it is one of the few American-exclusive titles in Sega's 8-bit library, which keeps it on want lists for region completists.
