Impossible Mission II is a direct sequel to Epyx's 1984 game Impossible Mission. The game follows directly from the same plot, with Elvin Atombender seeking revenge, and the player having to stop him. The overall game structure and basic gameplay is mostly similar, but there are a few differences and new features.
The game takes place in Elvin's fortress, which consists of nine towers. Each of the eight outer towers has a specific theme, such as computers, automobiles, furniture and so on. Each tower consists of several rooms connected by two vertical corridors with elevators and two horizontal corridors leading to other towers. This time, the corridors leading between different towers are locked, and can only be unlocked by figuring out a numerical puzzle.

never tried it but the graphics look bland, so if this is a fave of the C64 i hope someone can explain why (the gameplay doesn't look too great either compared to some other games)

Man, I wish the C64 would come to the US. Maybe one day I guess

I Heard that all regions would get there own exclusive consoles at some point and then later on, those titles would be released at another point. I mean, Europe have got C64 and Japan have MSX, so by my calculations, America will get the Vectrex, the Atari 2600 or Pong
Expect the Saturn at some point though, i am. It seems like a perfect VC fit
Sticking to the subject, i'm looking forward to this game. I enjoyed the first one loads, so this will be worth a download for sure

@ Terranigma
If the US gets an exclusive console, then I must vote for the 32x
I can't see paying 500 points for Atari 2600 games, but I am sure Nintendo could

My votes for the Sega CD, at least it had more than 2 great games on it. I would've said saturn, but that would've been both Unfair, and unlikely, since it saw more support in Japan than the US. I goota say though, most Atari games haven't aged well over the years, and aside from maybe one game, I don't think I'd buy anything from it's library.
Too bad there are any exclusives at all, since it would be nice if all regions got the MSX and the C64( especially the C64).
Edit: Did I mention how awesome this game looks?

Even though it isn't quite as good as the original IM, it is still a damn fine game and keeps you on your toes with new strategies to figure out.
