Play Untouchables, The (Rev B) Online

The Untouchables (Rev B) is a 1991 NES game published by Ocean Software, based on the film of the same name. It arrived late in the NES lifecycle, a time when many developers were pushing the hardware's limits with more complex action titles. The game attempts to translate the movie's gangster-busting narrative into a side-scrolling shooter, a common genre for the era.

You control federal agent Eliot Ness across several mission types. The core gameplay involves moving screen by screen, using a limited supply of bullets to shoot gangsters while carefully avoiding innocent civilians. Some stages shift to an overhead driving perspective where you must destroy pursuing cars, and others task you with a sniper rifle to take out targets from a distance. The controls feel stiff and the difficulty is punishing, demanding precise shots and quick reactions to enemy fire. It feels like a constant, chaotic scramble to clean up the streets without causing collateral damage.
