Rurounibakajanai plays Dick Tracy for NES - Case 3 of 5


Sheesh, this is getting pretty repetitive. The same music plays everywhere, it's the same enemies, and you're doing the same things over and over again.

Interestingly, things are about to change, as you have to avoid things now.


Case 3: A Bang Up Job


1. Detective Sam Catchem receives letter bomb

Well, gee, Big Boy, I knew you would allude to Sam Catchem being taken out, but I didn't think you'd actually do i..oh, who am I kidding? Of course I did.

Look through your mugshots. Only an explosives expert would be able to pull something like this off, and Pruneface's profile is exactly that: an explosives experts. He was last seen at the 7th & E Nightclub.

7th & E Nightclub


Safes drop down from some of the windows! Watch out, as being hit by one will take off an entire badge!

You'll want to be careful with the armed men, as they fire at you faster than ever before.

Just near the exit door on a windowsill is another first aid kit. Of course, you should obviously go back to Pruneface and interrogate him. He'll tell you that he's being framed, and that he gets gunpowder from a guy at 5th and C.

5th & C Apartments


You can climb up the pipes by pressing Up on the Control Pad. This way, you can get the clue on the windowsill.

2. Back scratcher with embossed 'I'

Be careful during the end of this level. You're going to be facing two armed men at once, so take the guy on the ground out first before shooting the one above him.

You'll definitely want to be careful against the armed from this point on, as the time between bullet shots is now significantly faster. Some of them can also shoot multiple bullets at a time, making it so that you'll have to outsmart the AI a little bit in order to take them down.

Go to the police station and check out the mugshots. The backscratcher obviously belongs to Itchy. He's at the 1st & G Auto Shop.

1st & G Auto Shop


The rats are back. Of all the places, why an auto shop?

Jump on the windows shortly after the start by jumping on top of a nearby car and jumping to them from there. The last one has a first aid kit.

Itchy will be dressed in purple. Interrogate him and he'll say a man with no face stole his backscratcher. He also says he's being framed.

Check your mugshots. I'm pretty sure The Blank doesn't have a face. He's at the 6th and J Store.

6th & J Store


Get ready to punch some guy in the face multiple times as soon as you enter.

There's a first aid kit in the plant near the exit.

Interrogate The Blank. He'll say he's being framed like everyone else and that he was asleep at the 7th & A Club.

7th & A Nightclub


7th & A will be at the lower-right corner of the map.

There's a tommy gun above the clue.

3. Discarded note: 'Slip The Blank a mickey & keep him asleep'

When you exit the building, you'll chase another car. Go after him and shoot him. You'll find out it's Stooge Viller. Interrogate him, and he'll tell you that some guy at the 7th & D Grill gave him a sawback to go after you.

7th & D Grill


One of the guys will have what looks like a black grenade. This is a tear gas canister, and can be used twice. Using it will take out all onscreen enemies, so use them wisely.

The clue is just below the exit.

4. 'Explosives' book from 5th & G Library with paper from bomb

5th & G Library


The last clue will be below the exit here, as well.

5. Library records show 'Explosives' checked out by Flattop!

Go back to the police station, get the clues in the notepad, then check your mugshots. Thankfully, there's a police to the building south of the library.

Flattop was at the 1st & D Basement.

1st & D Basement


1st & D will be just north of the police station at the lower-left corner of the map.

The rats will be on the floor, so watch your step.

When you meet Flattop, arrest him. Job well done!

Case 4: 036-224-136
