Impossible Mission (Oric)

 by DefenceForce

Impossible Mission (Oric)

Elvin Atombender is seeking world domination again. This time through an Oric near you!

Impossible Mission was an absolute classic game on the Commodore 64 with conversions for most other micros of the era.

Impossible Mission (Oric)

The aim of the game is to locate puzzle pieces hidden in furniture spread across all the rooms in a large underground complex then assemble the pieces into punchcards that will form letters for the final Passcode into the Control room to finally foil Elvin's plans. Is that enough?

Oric Impossible Mission differs and is easier than other versions to play as follows

  1. No robot sensors/limited robot patterns
  2. The length of the robot plasma is much shorter than other versions
  3. lifts in rooms always move in half height steps
  4. Fewer puzzle pieces to find and match. 28 versus 36 on C64 version
  5. Shorter password. 7 versus 9 letter on C64 Version
  6. Ethan jumping arc is much more acute allowing him to somersault when the robot is adjacent to him

 Iowa Jack and the Crystals of Chaos -Commodore 128k)

Take on the role of Iowa Jack - adventurer, tomb raider and pilot for hire - and head off in search of a legendary treasure in this old school text adventure game. 

This C128 version is for 80 columns.

This is a nice adventure in that there are no deaths or dead ends (soft locks). This is an easy game overall, so it’s perfect for newcomers to the genre, or advanced players who want a quick adventure break.

MSXdev24 #06 Chimney Man

Title: Chimney Man

Genre: arcade
Author(s): Gamecast
Medium: Disk 720KB
Hardware requirements: MSX, 32KB

Drawing inspiration from classic arcade games, this MSX1-based game entry tests your joystick skills. Brought to you by the Italian studio Gamecast, meet Chimney Man.

In previous MSXdev editions, the brain behind Gamecast Entertainment has taken us an many adventures. Among many things, we’ve been a demolition expert, tasked with defusing bombs. We robbed banks like a contemporary Robin Hood. Even being responsible for seemingly mundane tasks such as collecting clothes to wash, keeping the urban streets clean was never below us, thanks to this developer and their varied settings and plots. We’ve crawled into the skin of a rat in the woods, teaching us many things about wildlife, and the comparative state of the human condition, and as such daringly posed existential questions to us. The latest creation from this MSXdev stalwart is Chimney Man.

This time around, we’re to don our blue collars again, as we’re back to working a service job. Make sure to bring the right tools in order to sweep those chimneys, as it’s a job that just has to be done.
