Mission Impossible

This award-winning game was released on the C64 a couple of years ago - and now Amsters everywhere can get their hands on it. Unfortunately, this conversion doesn't match up to the more recent Spectrum version graphically.

Your mission as a super secret agent is to penetrate mad Prof Elvin Atombender's robot-infested maze of an underground HQ. The mad Prof intends to hack into the world's defence computers and launch an atom attack that will destroy the world! Cute, huh?

You have to find bits of code and piece them together using your on-screen pocket computer in order to find the password to the Prof's control room.

Impossible Mission is a game of action and strategy - and is still the ultimate platform game. The Amstrad conversion isn't the prettiest thing to look at - but the old Impossible Mission addictiveness and playability lurks underneath the chunky graphics.
