"IMPOSSIBLE MISSION" - HINTS AND TIPS
By Jaromir Krol - "Jerry King" - This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
http://www.kki.net.pl/jaromirk/c64joke/
This great game introduced speech synthesis to the C64, and was one of the
most difficult games of its time. Without cheats and possibilites given by
the various emulators, it still is!
Elvin Atombender, an evil genius, plans to do what all evil scientists do in
their weekends: destroy the world. And you, a top secret agent, must stop
him. You must search his complex underground laboratory and retrieve 36
pieces of a puzzle. Then you must put them together to form a correct image,
and use it to open the door to Elvin's control room.
I recommend playing this game with an emulator that has freezing
capabilities, or with a program/card which can do it (Game Wizard, Action
Replay...). This way, you can freeze before dangerous situations, and if
something isn't right, just try again from the same point.
The basic game is obvious, really - search all the objects in all the rooms,
avoiding robots and doing a lot of gymnastics (yes, I pasted this sentence
from my "Impossible Mission II" solution :). In the objects you can find
platform "resetters", robot freezers, and pieces of puzzle. Use the freezers
and resetters in the terminals - every room has one (or more :). You can also
get those in the music rooms - there are two in the maze (which is randomly
chosen at the beginning). When you enter the room and use the keyboard, you
hear a number of tunes, starting with three. Your task is to put them in the
right order - from the lowest one to the highest one.
In one of the rooms, there is a large rectangle which you cannot search. It's
the door to Elvin's main room. When you have the full puzzle, you can enter
it to complete the game.
The puzzle consists of nine parts, each in turn consisting of four pieces.
You must assemble all nine parts. Each completed part gives you one letter of
a password - such as ALBATROSS - and when you have all nine letters, you can
open the security door.
You may flip and turn the pieces of the puzzle, and even change their
colours. You can phone your HQ for help, but it will always cost you a number
of minutes. The full puzzle - solved - is an electronic access card.
I have the trained versions of both IMs on my site, BTW, so you may want to
get them there: http://www.kki.net.pl/jaromirk/c64joke/ Check the games page
to download the IMs. L8r!
