Impossible Mission IIC64

never tried it but the graphics look bland, so if this is a fave of the C64 i hope someone can explain why (the gameplay doesn't look too great either compared to some other games)

Yay, IM I was already great, so I'm looking forward to this.

I Heard that all regions would get there own exclusive consoles at some point and then later on, those titles would be released at another point. I mean, Europe have got C64 and Japan have MSX, so by my calculations, America will get the Vectrex, the Atari 2600 or Pong

Expect the Saturn at some point though, i am. It seems like a perfect VC fit

Sticking to the subject, i'm looking forward to this game. I enjoyed the first one loads, so this will be worth a download for sure

@ Terranigma
If the US gets an exclusive console, then I must vote for the 32x

I can't see paying 500 points for Atari 2600 games, but I am sure Nintendo could

@Tony

My votes for the Sega CD, at least it had more than 2 great games on it. I would've said saturn, but that would've been both Unfair, and unlikely, since it saw more support in Japan than the US. I goota say though, most Atari games haven't aged well over the years, and aside from maybe one game, I don't think I'd buy anything from it's library.

Too bad there are any exclusives at all, since it would be nice if all regions got the MSX and the C64( especially the C64).

Edit: Did I mention how awesome this game looks?

Even though it isn't quite as good as the original IM, it is still a damn fine game and keeps you on your toes with new strategies to figure out.

old school game, lol, i played it a lot, but guess was too young, or too slow, for this, so didnt play it much, but its funny (especially now that i grew up and have internet, so i can check how the game works)
4/5
it was my father's favorite game, and before i found this site and VC itself, we talked about it alot, now he's surprised that its back on console from these times
i think last time i played this one, was on snes cartridge, again a .... in 1 or it looked like this one
nice to see it back

Nice graphical improvements but won't be downloading as I could never beat the original (which I already downloaded).
Great to see the C64 so well supported though

The prevailing memory I have of this game is the brilliant sampled scream when you die (something I did rather a lot in this game). As with it's precursor, this game is ludicrously hard. I was never a huge fan of the Mission Impossible games, but it's good to see such a seminal title being given a new lease of life.

Sounds very decent but sadly i will have to pass with this since I found the original too hard. Then again puzzles arn't my cup of tea.

@Betagam7 - it's a touch easier to beat than the original because you don't need to search everything or beat every room, you just need the codes to exit each tower and get the music from the safe.

I have no idea what's going on lol
lol If they made the Vectrex an NA VC exclusive, do you think they'd have the option to play with and/or without the color overlays?
... Man the Vectrex would be lame compared to the MSX and C64...
I vote NA get Apple ][ or Macintosh games!

I vote no exclusives at all, it´s just stupid to give different games to different regions. I´m so envious about the MSX! I enjoy Impossible Mission, so I´ll try the sequel some day.

Something that just occurred to me while watching the video for IM2, assuming this is far enough back this seems like it might have been starting point for great action puzzle games that followed like Out of This World or Flashback: Quest for Identity.

The game reminds me of Flashback for the Genesis, I guess it's another Prince of Persia game, looks fun.

stay a while stay forever

Karateka was the first game to use these kinds of realistic animations and physics, I believe.

But, were there any prior to this that combined the life like movement and physics with an interactive puzzle solving environment? I can't think of any that predate Impossible Mission. EPYX was almost always right on the edge of gaming for the C64. A lot of high quality offerings, as I recall. Good times.

Great Game !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what i said about my father like this, it wasnt this one, it was IM 1, not 2
maybe i buy this after i completed IM 1, which i dont have yet, its on a list, but will get for sure

I have completed Impossible Mission 1, an awesome game for 1984!!
It felt like a 1990ies game. I'm thinking about downloading IM2.

I hope this gets released over here.

Another visitor...stay awhile...stay forever!!!
