Mission Impossible is a 1990 video game developed by Konami and published under the Ultra Games label (Palcom Games for the PAL region) for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It was based on the 1988-90 revival of the Mission: Impossible television series.The brilliant Dr. O, the genius behind the US military defense system, has been kidnapped by the terrorist group The Sinister Seven. Fortunately, his secretary was actually IMF agent Shannon Reed assigned to watch over him in the event of just such a kidnapping, and she was able to send out a coded message before being abducted as well. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to hunt down the Sinister Seven and rescue Dr. O from their hideout.The gameplay is a top-down Action-Adventure, where you control Max Harte, Grant Collier, and Nicolas Black, each with their own weapons, tools, and skills. You switch between them while navigating large, sprawling mazes full of enemies, traps, and barriers blocking your progress, while talking to informants for valuable (Sometimes) intel and hitting switches to disable traps. Two stages switch this up for a more action-oriented shooter style, where you dodge obstacles wile racing to the end.

Fake Longevity: There's a number of little interactive sequences that stretch out gameplay. Notably how stairs force you to manually walk your agent up or down a flight in a sidescrolling section, seemingly only to differentiate between going up and down floors or just into the next room. Electronic door locks have you decode the combination to unlock them, but the game is paused while you do so, a chime will tell you the correct number, and only Grant can access the doors anyways, so the whole exercise is pointless.

 Mission Impossible (1990) (Video Game) / int_1664fe9f
comment
Temporary Platform: You fight the third level boss on a floor made entirely of crumbling blocks. You can try to either damage him, or cause a large section of the floor to break away and fall, sending him plummeting with it. Though since he can teleport around, this is easier said than done. You have to navigate another room with a narrow path made of the same crumbling blocks in the final stage. One auto-scrolling section in the final stage has your agent keeping ahead of the slowly collapsing floor, which gets closer and closer, leaving you with less space to react to the large groups of enemies that can spawn in. Fortunately, falling in the hole is one of the few points in the game where the pit isn't bottomless, and only drops you to the previous floor.

Heal Thyself: You can find first-aid kits scattered among the levels that restore one agent to full health. Since each agent has his own health bar, it's a common strategy to swap out an agent who's heavily injured until you can find a first aid kit to replenish their health by switching back.

Balance, Power, Skill, Gimmick: Every IMF Agent has their own balance: Max is the slowest but has the greatest reach with his assault rifle, and the most powerful attack with his explosives. Grant can only punch opponents in melee, but he is the fastest and can use sleeping gas to stun enemies. He is also the only one that can unlock certain electronic door locks. Nicholas has a boomerang, has average movement speed and can disguise himself as the enemy, allowing him to sneak past foes undetected.

Logic Bomb: To stop the supercomputer from launching the missiles to start World War 3, you need to convince it there will be no winner in the war. To do so, you need to play a game of Madelinette against it, and end with no winner three times. This makes the computer go haywire trying to win the game, and shut down, aborting the launch.

Your Princess Is in Another Castle!: You spend most of the game simply chasing the Sinister Seven as they move Dr. O and Shannon Reed to different hideouts. And even when you do finally rescue them, there's still some work to be done on infiltrating the group's last stronghold to stop the supercomputer about to activate the nuclear missiles.

Satchel Charge: Max's explosives act like this. Press the button once to plant them, and press it again to detonate. Useful in some cases to destroy walls, but also the most powerful attack you possess, capable of killing almost every enemy with one bomb, and can take out multiple enemies at once.

Boss Arena Urgency: The third level boss is fought on a floor made entirely of crumbling blocks. The longer you're on the floor, the more the floor will crumble away. Sections of the floor will also fall away if separated from the walls, further reducing how much floor you have to stand on. (Though breaking away a section the boss is standing on is one way to defeat him.)

comment
Optional Stealth: Stealth is a big part of the game, though not strictly speaking is it necessary. Various enemies are on constant patrols, and will only attack once they spot your agent. Taking them out before they see you will save you considerable grief. Nicholas' disguises are quite useful for this purpose. Though they only last for a few seconds, that's enough time to run past an enemy and/or take him out with your weapons. Many rooms feature security cameras or spy bots that patrol the room. You don't need to avoid them, but doing so will avoid triggering an attack by the powerful Iron Claw enemies. Be aware that Nicholas' disguises won't fool any electronic sensors.

Kill It with Fire: Turned against you. Knives and melee attacks do one damage. Bullets do two. Fire attacks do a whopping six damage, or half your life bar in one hit. And since fire attacks tend to linger, it's easy to see an agent go from full health to dead in under a second if you're not careful.

Pushy Mooks: Neo Knights are fast moving enemies armed with a riot shield. When they spot you, they charge at you full speed and push you back to force you into a pit. Naturally, most are placed so that your back is right up against a pit when you enter their field of vision. They're also by far the strongest non-boss enemies in the game, taking seven hits, compared to most enemies only taking one, and the tough enemies taking two.

comment
Battle Boomerang: Nicholas' weapon of choice, a spammable boomerang with decent range that can hit enemies from a distance. It can be used to avoid attention from other enemies or hit them from behind an object to avoid return fire.

Timed Mission: The final segment against the supercomputer has you race against time before it launches nuclear weapons.

comment
Generic Doomsday Villain: The Sinister Seven's goal is to force the launching of US nuclear missiles in order to start World War 3 and destroy the world. No reason is given as to why they want to accomplish this, with the closest being the 'final boss' simply stating "This world should disappear!"

Shout-Out
 Mission Impossible (1990) (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The final confrontation against the supercomputer that's being used to launch the nukes is more or less an exact recreation of the ending of Wargames, with the only differences being that you already know you need to win multiple games of Madelinette against the computer before it takes over instead of it being a desperate last-minute gambit and the movie characters being the ones to get the idea to make the computer play against itself, and the game in the movie was the much better known Tic-Tac-Toe.

Bottomless Pits
 Mission Impossible (1990) (Video Game) / int_cea7fc1
comment
One auto-scrolling section in the final stage has your agent keeping ahead of the slowly collapsing floor, which gets closer and closer, leaving you with less space to react to the large groups of enemies that can spawn in. Fortunately, falling in the hole is one of the few points in the game where the pit isn't bottomless, and only drops you to the previous floor.

Password Slot Machine: Electronically locked doors are unlocked by Grant (The only agent with the required expertise in electronics) playing a minigame which involves decoding a 4-digit code. The correct digit is marked by a chime when selecting each digit individually.

Flame Spewer Obstacle: A dangerous stage hazard, especially common in the last level, are flame jets that shoot out intermittently, making them hard to avoid. Like all fire attacks, it deals half your life bar if it hits.

Fission Mailed: An autoscrolling section in the final stage has a collapsing floor. If your agent falls in, it shows them plummeting and the agent lost music plays. But instead of starting the section again with the next available agent as usual, you start on the previous floor with the same agent who fell.

Brain in a Jar: The final hallway in the Very Definitely Final Dungeon has its walls lined with brains and hearts in life-support tanks. It's even scarier when you realize how much effort it took to get there, and that nothing else in the game hints that the Sinister 7 were creating bioweapons.
