Play Untouchables, The (japan) Online

Ocean Software released The Untouchables for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991, a time when movie tie-in games were common. It is based on the film of the same name, placing you in the middle of Prohibition-era Chicago. As a game from that period, it has the straightforward presentation and challenging design typical of many NES titles.

You control federal agent Eliot Ness, moving through side-scrolling levels to take down Al Capone's criminal empire. Your main objective is to progress through various stages, from city streets to warehouses, eliminating gangsters. Signature mechanics include switching between your pistol and a limited supply of machine gun ammo, as well as a close-range melee attack for when enemies get too near. The pacing is relentless, with frequent enemy spawns and limited health making each screen a careful engagement. Navigating the levels requires precise jumps and quick shooting, creating a tense and demanding experience from start to finish.
