Ocean's Commodore 64 instructions describe six levels of arcade-style sections in 1920s Chicago, with the player in control of Eliot Ness's squad: the warehouse, the bridge at the U.S./Canadian border, the alleys, the train station, the hostage, and the rooftop. It is a one-player game, played with a joystick in port 2 or the keyboard. The game loads in five sections, and the player stays on a level until it is completed.	`English section, ScenarioEnglish section, ScenarioEnglish section, LoadingEnglish section, ControlsEnglish section, GameplayEnglish section, GameplayEnglish section, ScenarioEnglish section, GameplayEnglish section, GameplayEnglish section, GameplayEnglish section, GameplayEnglish section, Gameplay`	Manual
In the Commodore 64 instructions, Ness raids the warehouse, where capturing Capone's bookkeepers gathers preliminary evidence and an arrow guides him to the evidence; he can fire only while standing on the ground. At the bridge the player changes Untouchable by going to the far left or right of the playing area. In the alleys the player fires two shots, reloads with the fire button in the back street, and is put back against the wall automatically when both are used. At the station Ness guides a pram down the concourse while avoiding innocent bystanders, and in the hostage scene the henchman threatens to shoot the accountant in five seconds. On the rooftop Ness chases Frank Nitty.	`English section, Section 1, The WarehouseEnglish section, Section 1, The WarehouseEnglish section, Section 2, The BridgeEnglish section, Section 3, The AlleysEnglish section, Section 4, The Train StationEnglish section, Section 5, The HostageEnglish section, Section 6, The RooftopEnglish section, Section 1, The WarehouseEnglish section, Section 3, The Alleys`	Manual
On the Commodore 64 the energy display is a row of caricatures: the more of Capone shows, the weaker the Untouchables. The instructions' hints say that certain Untouchables must stay alive for later sections, and that an Untouchable regains energy while inactive.	`English section, Status and ScoringEnglish section, Hints and TipsEnglish section, Hints and Tips`	Manual
