The original game was released 25 years ago for the Commodore 64 and was the first game to use real synthesised speech. It also included a random game-map system which ensured no two games were the same.
System 3 feels that the original still stands the test of time, but has chosen to remake the game with brand new graphics and sound to appeal to a new audience. The game has been re-written from the ground up but the gameplay remains loyal to the original, as does the random map generation.
Players will have three main characters to choose from and three game modes: new, original and purist – a hybrid mode with the original gameplay using the updated graphics.
In Impossible Mission players take on the role of a secret agent who must stop the evil genius Professor Elvin Atombender who has been tampering with National Security computers. It’s now a race against time and you’ll have to penetrate his base and recover parts of the system password, all while avoiding deadly robots.
The PSP version will allow the player to send a full copy of the game to a friend so they can try it out for themselves.
Impossible Mission is scheduled for release in Q2 for Wii, PS2, PSP and Nintendo DS.
