Especially if you dared play it two player.
The first thing that came to mind was:
I don't think I got more than one "crime" solved. Ever.
Shoulda cheated. I think there were Game Genie codes?

I had Dick Tracy as a kid...that game was brutal.
I'm not sure if there are Game Genie codes, but you get a password after you complete each case.
I did end up completing it though, eventually I figured out that if you walk or drive slowly (as in take a couple steps, stop, repeat) you can get enemies and booby traps to trigger long before they're supposed to.
Traps, like the safes falling from windows will fall ahead of you, and gangsters will just stand there, with half of their body onscreen. It's especially helpful with the gun-toting gangsters that are perched above you or behind objects.
It's an extremely tedious way to get through the game, but it works.
That aside, I was 9, and had already finished my other games at that time.
