Game Review

Another visitor. Stay a while...stay forever!
How about something fun now...this time from Epyx! Impossible Mission debuted on the Commodore 64 with clear, fluid graphics, great sounds, and, amazing for the time, speech! But it wasn't just technically great; A mixture of action, adventure, and puzzle solving, the game created an atmospheric, challenging environment that was fun to play. And, oh boy, it was challenging! I'm sure some players completed the game, but that's a feat I wasn't able to achieve myself. But I think that overall the unique gameplay and excellent execution make this one deserving of the high praise it received. While versions were released for numerous platforms eventually, and most are just as playable and enjoyable, the C64 version really is the reference version for this game. If you haven't played it, it's one that must be tried; even after all these years, it still holds up extremely well. The one drawback is you'll probably want to browse through the manual first; without that it's not quite clear what your goal is, and the game is tough enough when you don't need to figure out the objectives as well!
