Notes

[1] Game produced by MicroProse under licence from Epyx.

[2] IMPOSSIBLE MISSION 2025 is the last installment in the Impossible Mission games trilogy, which also contained IMPOSSIBLE MISSION (no standalone release on Amiga) and IMPOSSIBLE MISSION II.

[3] IMPOSSIBLE MISSION 2025 (CD32) is an enhanced update of the classic 8-bit platform puzzler IMPOSSIBLE MISSION, originally released in 1984 by Epyx for the C64.

Set in the future (the year 2025, to be precise!), IMPOSSIBLE MISSION 2025 players can assume the role of one of three characters (the original secret agent 4125 and two new characters, a female gymnast and an android), and the corridor layout of different single screen rooms in the original have been abandoned in favour of 15 large, multidirectional scrolling levels. Additionally, IMPOSSIBLE MISSION 2025 (CD32) contains further enhancements over the IMPOSSIBLE MISSION (OCS/ECS) and (AGA) disk versions in the form of game/level intro sequences, CD quality sound, faster gameplay, and an endgame combat sequence involving 3D rendered graphics.

[4] IMPOSSIBLE MISSION 2025 (CD32) also includes a bonus pixel-for-pixel remake of Epyx's classic C64 platform puzzler IMPOSSIBLE MISSION (including the excellent digitised speech of the game's evil protagonist Professor Elvin Atombender), which can be accessed from the game's titlescreen menu.

[5] IMPOSSIBLE MISSION (classic remake demo) appeared on Amiga Power coverdisk 40a (Issue 80, Aug 94), which is available for downloadHERE [Source: Amiga Magazine Rack (AMR)].

Conversion Notes

Based on unreleased MicroProse SNES & MegaDrive versions, both cancelled due to MicroProse's $$$ problems before the Spectrum HoloByte parent company buyout.

[1] Game produced by MicroProse under licence from Epyx.

[2] IMPOSSIBLE MISSION was only released on the Amiga as a bonus game included with the enhanced update IMPOSSIBLE MISSION 2025, which can be accessed from the game's titlescreen menu.

[3] IMPOSSIBLE MISSION is the first installment in the games trilogy, which also contained IMPOSSIBLE MISSION II and IMPOSSIBLE MISSION 2025.

[4] The Amiga version of IMPOSSIBLE MISSION is a pixel-for-pixel remake of the C64 release of Epyx's classic platform puzzler from 1984 (see HERE), and includes the excellent digitised speech of the game's evil protagonist Professor Elvin Atombender.

[6] ***IMPOSSIBLE MISSION(full release)*** is available for downloadHERE [Source: Amigaland].


TRIVIA:MicroProse asked Epyx to provide some sound samples (including the speech) for the 16-bit port of IMPOSSIBLE MISSION, but most of the original 8-bit source code had been destroyed in an earthquake. Consequently, programmers Paul Dunning and Tim Cannell coded the port by look and feel since they didn't have access to any original game code either! [Source: Interview with Stuart Whyte(project manager), courtesy of the Internet Archive]

Conversion Notes

Based on 1984 Dennis Caswell/Epyx C64/128 release

NB. SNES/MegaDrive releases as part of IM: THE 90s REMIX were scrapped due to MicroProse's $$$ hassles prior to Spectrum HoloByte's buyout
