Game-a-day #27...The Untouchables.


Okay ya mugs, drop the heatrolas and reach for the sky!  That's my attempt at some good old fashioned thirties gangster talk. You know like James Cagney.  "The Untouchables" is a game set in the world of prohibition, bootleggers, G-men, and Tommy guns.  I always liked the 30's gangster genre, it's underused in the video/computer game world in my opinion.  Why don't they make a GTA bootlegger version?  Economic depression, booze, old cars... Anyhow, back to the C64 game,  it's a side scroll shoot-em-up.  It's Fun, has pretty good graphics.  The game play is smooth and fast paced.  It was published back in 89 a couple years after the blockbuster film of the same name that stared Kevin Costner and had the baseball bat scene, Sean Connery too.  If you like the movie, and you like side scroll shooting games, try this one out, it's a real peach, a hot tomato....see.
