A late Untouchables adaptation. Decent but drab action platformer, failing to mine the 1930s Chicago setting. Short stages, generic mood. Aimed at the broad NES audience.

Collector interest

Japanese Famicom edition of Ocean's adaptation of the film The Untouchables, released in 1991. A catalogue oddity: Ocean was a British studio focused on Europe, and a Famicom version of this Western film-licensed title is unusual, setting this release apart from the Western NES market. A small Japanese print run for a licensed action game, with appeal resting on that atypical territorial footprint.
