Impossible MissionC64

Amazing. Fullstop.

I remember this, too. I also remember never really knowing what to do because like every other game we had, this was a copy without any manual ^^o (I think the only 'original' game ever to hit our floppy was Zak McKracken- great advature, wanna see it again!!).

Still it was great, save the fact that this scream of death (it's in the video) used to wear on my nerves simlpy because I got to hear it way to often...

BTW: what genre would you think this game is? Is it a platformer? Or is the searching/combining of passwords-element enough to call it an adventure ?°_°? ?

Wasn't this on the NES?

I played IP II on C-64 and only had a brief look at this one. Seemed even more difficult than I to me. Animations were pretty smooth for 8bit and yeah it's hard to determine the genre for this one; more of platformer than anything else to me but it definitely has this exploring factor.

Never played this one. Animation is great for an 8bit title. Reminds me of an early version of Flashback.

Ahh, I never liked this a whole lot. Sorry folks!

Your apolgising for having an opinion?

Of course! People aren't allowed to have unpopular opinions, you know.

What happened to the Wii version of this? There were a few box mockups at online retailers (and a UK £14 price tag), then it was rumoured to be a WiiWare title, then... nothing. Anybody know?

Wow, the digitized speech is really erm..........something. (but definitely impressive for the time) I might get this if it comes to the US.

Damn repetitive and frustrating, but its a cool concept. I guess it inspired some great titles like PoP and Flashback.

Ive never played this, Ive played Flashback tho on the megadrive. Are they both simular?

Knuckles-san, don't go expecting it to be identical to Flashback, but you can definitely see the influence Impossible Mission had on the later game.

Was this the first ever game with digitised speech?? I rememeber the first time I played this the speech blew me away. Pretty much in a similar fashion to when the sound blaster card came out and i played my first pc game (prince of persia) without pc speaker.

All in all however, (and when it comes to c64 I probably say this alot) The Last Ninja kicked this game's ass. Mission impossible was certainly one of the better c64 games and in its day was a 4/5, but now I would give it a 3. PS Flashback kills this game, I could just watch the cut scenes on flashback all day (just like soul reaver )

DarrenSW, the Wii version (And a DS version) was released. However, there was almost no info or anything on it, so it went kind of under the radar...

Man is this game hard and confusing. I'm totally lost.

Basically, you need to search all objects in every room until you've got 36 puzzle pieces. Then flip and turn and change the colours of them so you can create 9 full squares (With some little holes here and there which are meant to be secret code) by overlaying the pictures. If you can't figure it out, call the HQ and ask them to flip the currently two selected pictures on the left to the correct position. You can do that for all pictures, there's no limited amount of calls. Then it's just a case of smart thinking really. After completing all 9 puzzles you need to enter the blue door you saw in one of the rooms earlier.

Will C64 ever come to the STATES???

That looks kind cool.

this game has a time limit to complete it by? that is so stolen from majoras mask!! lol

seriously it must be good if clones are still being made for wii and ds

There is a DS and Wii retail release of this game. Both classic and remade are on the same release.

The DS version you can get from gamestops for 9.99.

You're a reviewer, Kelvin? I had no idea!

this game is really old, my birthyear too
my dad played it a lot on C64, and i tried it too, but was no game for me, cuz i was very young when i tried, lol
i think no other version beats it, cuz this is the real one and is almost the same as Impossible Mission II, but has some different styles, and nr 2 was the last one i played

i might aswell try this one for real
i hope more C64 games will be here, cuz theres 1 i dont remember its name, which i played, had fruit in it, was arcade and had to pick up the fruit to make an exit to next level, i loved it but cant remember the name

i'll see after SoM

I loves this game back in the early 90's but damn its so hard to complete if fact its so solid i gave up in the end not enuf hours in the day!!!!

my vile mate above used to have this game and i had impossible mission 2

This is one of the first games I ever played. How awesome!

i have been thinking about it, and i will buy and try to complete, like my father tried, and did lot of the game
at least 1 game from C64 i cant forget same to my father, he never forgets this and when we talk about them, he always mentions this one
so lets see how much i changed in those years

I tried playing this game, but just couldn't get into it. This'll probably be the next C64 game to hit NA.

I grew up playing this game (and Lazy Jones)
never actually finished it though.
DESTROY HIM MY ROBOTS !!!

This game looks really cool!

I love Impossible mission!

I played it on the Nintendo DS, I didn't get it at first :l
