User Rating: 7.5 | Impossible Mission DS
By flintheart_glomgold | Review Date:
I originally played this game on the Commodore 64 and for an 8-bit machine the graphics and sounds were surprisingly very good. It was a bit like Saboteur(1984)(VG) in a way as you would control your little secret agent guy as he ran around in a massive industrial complex going up and down elevators, doing huge somersaults and dodging the evil robots while trying to solve a cryptic puzzle on a huge musical chess board and searching for clues.

The baddie, who you never actually see during the game, was the outrageously named Elvin Atombender. Every now and again he was start talking to you or ordering his robots to zap you. It was mental. And the funniest part was definitely when you fell down an airshaft and the character would do that hilarious scream.

As a kid I never actually finished the game as it was just too difficult (it really did live up to it's name) but this new Nintendo DS version is easier to control and get to grips with. Impossible Mission is perfect for the handheld console and the new graphics and sound only improve the classic gameplay.

Despite the Gamespot review, there IS a save function.
