Can't touch this

Daring to tempt fate, Kevin Costner plays Chicago-based prohibition enforcement agent, Eliot Ness, the leader of The Untouchables in the 1987 movie of the same name. Aligning with pragmatic beat cop and anti-corruption crusader, Sean Connery, he mounts a tireless campaign to bring Al Capone to justice during the inebriated-as-ever 1930s era of booze-banishment. Robert de Niro - seizing the megalomaniac villain role with a zealous flourish of meshuga - talks the talk, yet is no match for the might of America's elite tax evasion squad.

Ocean Software's multi-system game of the same name released in 1990 attempts to mirror the pivotal events of the blockbuster movie, seamlessly blending first and third-person shooter genres with platforming and top-down arcade action. A solid enough accompaniment to the movie, showcasing a deft finesse for diversity without deviating from the tried and tested Ocean mini-game pastiche.
