Mission: Impossible (NES)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mission Impossible was a Nintendo Entertainment System video game by Konami, based on the TV series. A PC version was also released for DOS.

The object of the IMF team is to solve a kidnapping case, as a terrorist group by the name of the Sinister 7 has kidnapped both a well-known scientist and Shannon, another IMF operative (not appearing in the TV series). The chase will take place through the canals of Venice to the Switzerland Alps, and the team is to infiltrate a number of hostile multiple-floor installations in pursuit of the hostages.

The game is played from a top-down perspective. The player gets to control three IMF operatives from the TV series - Max, Grant and Nicholas - all of whom have different skills necessary for completion. The used character may be switched anytime in-game. On the street at the very beginning of the game, civilians may not be harmed, and such activities will most certainly bring the mission to a highly embarrassing end, as local authorities proceed to arrest the attacker. During infiltration, Metal Gear-type discretion is advised as detection by the surveillance system will bring specialized guards called Iron Claws your way.
