Play Untouchables, The on snes Online

Ocean Software released The Untouchables on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994. It arrived during a time when licensed games based on films were common, and this one adapted the 1987 movie about Eliot Ness and his team taking on Al Capone's criminal empire. The game fits right into the SNES library with its action-oriented approach and period setting.

You control Eliot Ness, moving through side-scrolling levels to eliminate gangsters and complete specific objectives, like disarming bombs or rescuing hostages. The game uses a squad system where you can switch between four agents, each with their own health bar; losing them all means failure. Combat involves careful aiming with a targeting reticle, and you manage limited ammunition for weapons like Tommy guns and revolvers. The pacing is tense, with frequent enemy ambushes and a steady difficulty curve that demands precision. It feels like a gritty, tactical shootout where every shot and agent lost matters.
