Well to be fair The Untouchables game was complete crap, as is mostly the case with games based on films. Usually the better the movie, the worse the game.
Sad thing is The Untouchables came out on the SNES, and it was pretty much the same game that came out on the home computers years beforehand....Oh dear :))
HotShot was the last one I bought for the Speccy (well, to be honest, had my Mum buy for me).
I had gotten my ST at that point and was pretty much done with the Speccy, but then I was over at my mate's place (who still had a 128 at the time) and he got the demo on a covertape, which had two or three levels of the main game or something, but we were obsessed with it and we and another mate of ours played it to death, so I thought sod it, I had a few quid for some reason, so I got my Mum to pick it up for me while she was uptown.
It was pretty good too. We played that one all the time for a few weeks. I think I got the Speccy version mainly because I wanted to play it with my mates, and the ST version would have been 15 quid or so compared to 9 quid for the Speccy version (as things were at the time).
I actually picked up the ST version for about 3 quid on budget a few years later, and it didn't play as well as the Speccy version, so I was glad I didn't bother when it was new.

It wasn't Ocean's best game, but definitely not crap. Quite good from a technical point of view, a bit uninspired on the gameplay side. I would say it was almost on par with Batman the movie. You can't always have Robocop.
