"As one of the Commodore 64 classics up there with the likes of Beach-Head, Karateka, and Paradroid, Impossible Mission deserves a modern-day update. Its gameplay has held up pretty well despite the passage of more than two decades, so it's a worthy buy if you're an old-timer up for a trip back in time or a kid who wants to get a look at what pop used to play."
The good:
- Original game still holds up really well despite being more than 20 years old
- New graphics liven up the flat look of the Commodore 64 original
- Old-timers will love hearing "Stay a while stay forever!" again after all these years
The bad:
- New game options are pretty underwhelming
- Though not impossible, your mission is extremely difficult
As revealed in the latest Argos catalogue, budget publisher System 3 is about to release a range of £9.99 code-in-a-box Switch titles. An unlikely source if ever there was.
Loved these games back on the Amiga. System 3 need to release a C64 pack with Last Ninja and Myth too.
I do wonder how these games hold up today. I loved Robocod when it first came out, but help me that feels like a past lifetime, it’s been so long. The Amiga days were great.

Whoa, California Games was ill... I played it on NES when I was like 9yrs. old(20+yrs. ago!) Me & my babysitters son tried to do flips on the bmx course & hit seagulls with the hackysack LMAO. I didn't have the instruction manual so figuring out what the heck the buttons were doing was half the fun! Oh yea, watching the bmx guy eat dirt for no apparent reason sucked but was hilarious! I made that poor guy crash nasty about a million times! Good ol' days of summer...
