[edit] Description

Your task is to fight evil Elvin Atombender, who tries to rule the world from his subterranean laboratory. Therefore you have to enter each of the rooms in the game and examine all subjects found there, trying to find pieces of puzzles, each of which consisting of four pieces. There are nine puzzles in total. Avoid contact with the robots guarding the rooms. By touching them (or by getting fried when they shoot) you lose a life. Lifes are endless in Impossible Mission, but losing a life results in deduction of ten minutes – and the time you have to solve the game is NOT endless.... The display at the bottom of the screen is your pocket computer, displaying which rooms and tunnels you have been to so far. When you are in an elevator or in one of the aisles, you can press your joystick button to activate more functions of your pocket computer. These are self-explanatory by their pictograms.

As soon as you fit all pieces of all the puzzles (thus solved them), you found the password needed to enter Elvin's laboratory. Stand in front of the door of the control room (located in one of the blue rooms) and push the joystick forward. The door will open and you rescued the world – winning the game.

[edit] Critics

Sledgie: „Very nice arcade game from the early years of the C64-games. It's just fun to play and combines several types of games (jump'n run, puzzling, logics). The rooms and puzzles are arranged randomly every time you start a new game, it is very diversified. But partly very hard to play.“

Guybrush: „Nice challenge with a very high frust-factor when one planlessly collecting parts, finding nothing and getting busted every time!“

TheKills: „A game I despaired at with 8-9 years. It was for me just like the title said...but I used to play it over and over again. 9 points for this one.“

Borna: „Optically the best game around for that time. Additionally, a well done mix of skill and puzzling. If one collects enough passwords at the beginning, it IS solveable. 10 points from me.“
