Impossible Mission is a classic action-platformer and puzzle game brought to the Atari 7800, where you play as a secret agent tasked with stopping the evil genius Elvin Atombender. You have a strict time limit to navigate his deadly underground complex, dodging robotic sentries and searching furniture for the puzzle pieces needed to crack his password and save the world.
How to play
Use the Arrow Keys to move your agent, ride elevators, and navigate your pocket computer. Use Z and X to jump over deadly gaps or robotic guards, and to search the furniture scattered throughout the rooms. Your objective is to gather all the puzzle pieces and assemble them in your portable computer before your six hours of in-game time expires.
Tips
- Observe the Robots: Each robot has a specific movement pattern and laser firing rhythm. Take a moment to watch their behavior before making your move, as some will pursue you while others follow a fixed path.
- Use the Terminals: Searching rooms often yields passwords that can be used at computer terminals to temporarily disable robots or reset elevator platforms.
- Assemble the Puzzle: The puzzle pieces you collect must be assembled in your pocket computer. Look for matching shapes and colors; if a piece doesn’t fit, you may need to find a terminal to rotate or mirror it.
