William and Bill is for Bill Gates! (chairman of Microsoft!) Jim and James is I have no idea! (not James Rolfe!) and Richard and Dick? Its different starting with R and D!
The part where you shout in a pillow made me laugh my ass off, i did exactly the same when i got frustrated after hours of fruitless gaming.
Great vid ;D
Lol, I just bought the new Power Unlimited. (Dutch gaming magazine) and they made a special colum about movie games that sucked. When I looked I saw Dick Tracy on the list and they made a refrence about u James.
I cuss like you when I get frustrated with games. All you hear is fuck, motherfucker and godanm fucking piece of shit.
This may be one of your angriest moments
I am really glad I passed up this game now. I heard about it when it came out but never got the chance to play it. I also really liked Dick Tracy when it came out in both the movies and the cartoon show and I also dressed up as Dick Tracy for Hallowen. How could they make this game? Nice review, James.
I’ve first seen “Dick Tracy” on TV when I was in 1st Grade (1993). I like the movie, but Dickard isn’t as tough as a detective as Batman. Also, this was the first movie where I was introduced to Madonna.
I find the snipers both pointless and horrendous in a game like this. It’s just an anger indusing addition to have.
I wonder how different the Genesis version of this game is.
I like the updates James made in the YouTube version of this episode, including the one about the healt power-ups.
Good thing that nowadays, we have good detective games like “Batman: Arkham Asylum.” Wait. Good? Arkham Asylume is actually GREAT. =D
The ending is one of the best ending to an AVGN episode.
To tell u the truth James i actually beaten Dick Tracy, yeah it took’d me a few fucking years and me and my brother yelled fuck alot but we beat it with heart trust and the internet here are the codes for u hard working gamers trying to beat Fucking Dick Hole Tracy
Case Combination
Case 2 207-119-060
Case 3 164-003-201
Case 4 036-224-136
Final Case 007-215-047
try LA NOIRE! I Guarantee you will find everything you wanted from DICk TRacy but did not get. (Mainly there aren’t snipers that murder you from the rooftops )
@JuuVain1 Well, he really destroys only games he has twice or more times. He explains that in a video I watched yesterday. It was an question and answer vid. Watching it answered my question. Well thanks though.^^
will we ever get rocketeer? I know that at this point old shitty unbeatable NES games are almost trite. Still, this is something that needs a solid internet video. “Cause there are shitloads of youtube videos of games that need prper roasting. Yep, I’m just going to go out ther and call what you’ve done roasting. If any programmer has watched one of these videos and felt a pang of regret, you have accomplished your original intent. You fucking invented an entire internet genre. You also redifine it. Tons of after the fact fuckier add gimmicks but you still have usurped them. Jesus Chirst. You totally get your own chapter in whatever the hell encyclopedias look like in the future.
Holy shit you are influential. God damn. I don’t know if anyone reading this is aware of how much these first few AVGNs have steered the course of internet video but FUCK. I was a top contender to knock the fucker down a peg. Even now in his current fully formed status he isn’t the most photogenic fucker that you could have. BUT. On the other hand everybody that has been choose to be elevated” to “television” has that same “failed actor” biography. Contrast that to the James Rolfe story where after the fact it’s obvious that he’d have something going due to the fact that he’s what we’d call a failed director.
Come on dude. If none of your friends can call your lame, public access shit out, allow me. NObody cares about your old ass “Before I was AVGN student films” Nobody. We tolerate it in the face of the unproven AVGN movie. Which, I will say right now, If it’s as good as the first two years of AVGN it will be a classic. I am not saying you can’t pull off a super good cult hit.
HOLY JeEZ i am stopping right now because this comment has adversley affected my drinking.
Know that what you have done is highly inluential and if you just stay the course without goofball florishes you should be in the clear.
Holy fuck dude. There are so many nes) (at least) games to fucking ridicule.
LMFOA your Reviews are awesome your funny try L.A noire that’s the best detective game ever and its made by one of the most talented companies in the world Rockstar games gazillion times better than this crap.
LMFAO your Reviews are awesome your funny try L.A noire that’s the best detective game ever and its made by one of the most talented companies in the world Rockstar games gazillion times better than this crap.
To get more health you have to pick up the heart and press select until you see medkit then to use it you have to hold B and press select, and If your goning to play this game I suggest getting the passwords online, but I really suggest just not playing this game, if you want to play a good game by Bandai then play Mighty Morphin Power Rangers on SNES
You know James I think that instead of driving the car to get around without trying to get shot at, how about you try Walking? Sure it’ll have to take a lot of patience but who knows maybe you might pass the game.
This has got to be one of my favorite AVGN episodes. It may be because of the very genuine outburst or rage we see at the end…or it may be because of how much I can relate to that feeling. I got this as a kid as well and remember it all too well and seeing episodes of games I too played as a kid is always more enjoyable.
get this my name is richard tracy curry I was born in 82 most my life ppl called me dick tracy I can’t stand it so when I saw this I could not belive he said my name richard tracy.dick is not short for richard
i found a youtube vid how to solve the first case. he can doge a lot of bulets by stopping the car in the moment the sniper shootes.
u can heal ur self by holding select when it says handgun and pressing b…. XD XD
who would think of that right ? u can carry 2 hearts…
good luck trying…

It was also developed by Bandai America on 1991. Now that i look again this vid i realize the horrendous music and the attractive cinematics this one had. Probably a strong sympthom of LJN-itis… someone should make some research on that.
Oh, and PLEASE don’t play that game if you are fans of the comic-book or have enjoyed the movie, or you love games.
I know it’s late, REALLY late and I’m not sure if anyone pointed it out already, but “Dick” is a nickname for a Detective, so perhaps Dick in Dick Tracy is a reference to his job title.
I remember renting this game as a kid and after 3hrs of nearly wanting to put my controller through the television screen, I asked my parents to take me back to the video store. I lied and said the game didn’t work and the guy let me pick out a different one at no charge. Too bad I picked Godzilla.
I really love when he updates his videos, like add content that wasn’t in it before. It really rewards those who actually watch these videos again after all these years.
I know the Wally bear and the no gang video also had an extended version now.
I had this game back then. I played it a lot and actually managed to beat it eventually. It was a lot better than the Dick Tracy game on Gameboy if you ask me.
This is one of my favorite reviews. I love how, “The Nerd”, truly captures the frustrations we all felt. I use to get so angry I’d scream in to my pillow, burst in to tears and think the world had ended.
To keep the snipers from becoming a problem later in the game (particularly during the car chase scenes), it’ll help to just drive around for a while, get out of the car and shoot as many as you can. They’ll stay dead for the rest of the game (unless you continue.) If you need to, go into a building and use First Aid to refill your health.
What happened to the updated version with the extra bit about the health powerups? when the site was revamped, it seems this went back to the old version?
April 9, 2010 at 12:26 pm
First! Ha ha. I remember being at my grandparents house and we rented this game.
It pissed me off. It ruined my whole freakin weekend! What else was I going to do?!
April 16, 2010 at 2:05 pm
Just noticed this got updated on the youtube site. awesome!
April 21, 2010 at 1:37 pm
LOVE THIS EPISODE but dam if that game dosent look hard how the fuk are you supposed to get around town without getting killed by those snipers
April 30, 2010 at 3:56 am
A fucking Madonna? Is that Madonna?
April 30, 2010 at 4:10 am
Too much Dick! (Tracy) because kids say “dick” as a penis!

July 9, 2010 at 1:59 am
“Dick” is also a slang term for detective. What, never heard of the term “private dick?”
April 23, 2013 at 4:08 pm
A most amusing term, that.
July 9, 2010 at 8:09 am
the driving scene is worse than ghost busters on nes
July 16, 2010 at 12:45 pm

i actually tried to play this game but i had the same issue as james.
The damn snipers…
July 29, 2010 at 3:07 pm
The only thing I remember about this game is breaking my NES Advantage during the driving sequence. What a load of shit – the game and the controller.
August 11, 2010 at 2:25 am

November 27, 2010 at 11:38 pm
To be fair, I don’t consider the movie that good either. It had some good performances and a decent story, but it just didn’t resonate.
December 19, 2010 at 6:35 pm
I never saw the movie and ive wondered how dick came out of richard and i got this http://answers.ask.com/Reference/Other/why_is_dick_short_for_richard
and dick meaning penis didnt come out til like the late 1800s i think, so this was b4 that meaning came out of it.
January 4, 2011 at 3:05 am
I lol’d when he got completely insane at the end. I think that that is his most angry moment yet.
April 9, 2011 at 5:20 pm
@Mikazo- private dick, better than being a public dick.
April 14, 2011 at 2:40 pm
That Tracy is such a Dick!

June 19, 2011 at 6:45 pm
Well James, your dreams have come true. L.A. Noire is out. Like Dick Tracy, except it doesn’t suck dick, like Dick Tracy.
July 3, 2011 at 1:49 am

September 19, 2011 at 12:31 pm
One thing I nerver get is… Well, do you actually destroy these games? Well, not the Nintento Tournament one. But what was with this one?
September 21, 2011 at 12:07 pm
I think he has doubles of the games he destroys. Or then he REALLY hates the games
September 21, 2011 at 12:16 pm
@JuuVain1 Well, he really destroys only games he has twice or more times. He explains that in a video I watched yesterday. It was an question and answer vid. Watching it answered my question. Well thanks though.^^

It’ a little late to respond, but here:
-Shut the fuck up, your opinion sucks shit and your jealous ass is just like every other hater
-Do something with your life instead of hating on someone who is more sucessful
-James is amazing and his work makes everyone happy except cunts like you
-Fuck you!
-You try making a movie, James is a suceeding director, you’d probably die of stress and shoot yourself
-I wouldn’t be writing this if it wasn’t for the “BUT” in your comment
December 14, 2011 at 1:59 am

March 28, 2012 at 9:07 pm
Did anyone here played “The Rocketeer” on NES…?
It was also developed by Bandai America on 1991. Now that i look again this vid i realize the horrendous music and the attractive cinematics this one had. Probably a strong sympthom of LJN-itis… someone should make some research on that.
Oh, and PLEASE don’t play that game if you are fans of the comic-book or have enjoyed the movie, or you love games.

I do miss the “30 seconds, no more Dick” joke though… My brothers and I thought that was hi-larity back in the day.
July 9, 2012 at 1:07 pm
I bought this game at a specialised store for like 5$. It was 5$ dollar for a reason. It SUCKED. I tried it and its a horrible game.
July 17, 2012 at 2:57 pm
I had this game back then. I played it a lot and actually managed to beat it eventually. It was a lot better than the Dick Tracy game on Gameboy if you ask me.

November 16, 2012 at 9:40 pm
Every video has an advert in the beginning lasting 30 seconds! WTF is this shit!
November 18, 2012 at 3:46 pm
