The Untouchables

The Untouchables is an arcade game based on the story of the popular Brian de Palma film under the same title. The player plays the role of the federal agent Elliot Nessa, who, together with a group of trusted people, sets out to war with the gang Ala Capone.

The production created by Astros for Ocean consists of several separate stages, loosely referring to the events from the film (similar to Batman: The Movie). The player will have to show agility in many different ways, because we will find here the stages characteristic of platformers, first person perspective production and even shooting in the style of Cabal or Operation Wolf. The wide range of genre of the game is also its biggest drawback. The player is thrown in a completely different atmosphere without any preparation and the enemies shoot extremely accurately. If we add to this the fact that the program does not allow you to continue the fun from the last completed level but forces you to struggle from the very beginning, we will have a full picture of the program for real fanatics of the genre.

Discussion playability goes hand in hand with not very interesting visual setting. PeCet version of the game is not much better than that of Commodore 64 and in comparison with Amiga it loses in the run-ups. As you can easily guess, sound also leaves a lot to be desired. Despite the catchy subject matter (gangster accounts in the 1930s) and the great popularity of the film (Oscar for Sean Connery), Ocean's product looks exceptionally pale.
