GAMEPLAY SECTION 1 - THE WAREHOUSE You find out that Capone's thugs are working in a derelict warehouse, bootlegging liquor. You bust in on them in an attempt to break up their operation. However, this surprise attack yields a few bonuses, as some of Capones' bookkeepers are present, and you must take the opportunity of capturing them in order to gather preliminary evidence of his activities. An arrow will guide you to the evidence when it is present in the building. You may also pick up extra ammunition and extra energy. SECTION 2 Acting in information gained from the warehouse raid, you attempt to thwart an illegal liquor run at the U.S./Canadian border. Armed with a Tommy Gun you and your men must find the liquor by avoiding Capone's henchmen and collect it by shooting the barrels until they explode. Untouchables may be changed by going to the far left or far right of the play area and shooting the bottom right corner of the character icon that appears on screen. SECTION 3 - The Alleys Getting a tip-off from one of the men at the border, you head for the train station where Capone's accountant is trying to leave the country. You must get to him (and the evidence) before the train leaves. Capone's mob hear of your intentions and will try anything to thwart the Untouchables mission. As you progress through the streets of Chicago, on your way to the Train Station, you are confronted by ambushes at every turn. You must eliminate all of your attackers before you can safely reach the station. Characters can be changed only when in a defensive position against the wall, and by moving to the character icon and shooting the bottom right of it. SECTION 4 - The Train Station As Ness awaits the arrival of the accountant, he helps a woman lift her baby in a pram up the stairs of the railway station. Before he reaches the top Capone's accountant arrives with an armed escort and opens fire. He lets go of the pram and starts to fire back. You must guide the pram to the bottom of the concourse avoiding enemy fire and any obstructions. You must also avoid shooting any innocent bystanders as your try to destroy Capone's men. You may replenish your energy by running over medical packs. SECTION 5 - The Hostage Realizing he is the last one left in the Station, One of Capone's henchmen takes the accountant hostage at gunpoint and threatens to shoot him in ten seconds if you do not lay down your arms. You must shoot him within that time, scoring a perfect fatal hit, if you are to succeed. SECTION 6 - The Rooftop With the evidence all collected, Capone is in court for the trial. His head Hitman, Frank Nitty, is still at large however, and you must chase him across the court roof top and avenge Malone's death. This is the final and bloody shootout which, if successful, will result in Nitty falling to his death. HINTS AND TIPS Learn map layouts for increased manoeuvrability. Try not to hang around too long on any level. Certain members of the Untouchables must remain alive for specific sections. The Movie may give you a clue. Learn how the mobsters act, to devise suitable tactics against them. Switch between your Untouchables quickly if one is low on energy as they regain power when inactive.
