Impossible Mission (Atari 7800) -- Game Manuals Were Cool

7 months ago

In the old days, video games came with paper manuals, and--in many cases—these manuals were full of cool art, bonkers worldbuilding, game tips, and extra creative details.

Impossible Mission on the 7800 is, well, Impossible – so I’ve heard. A bug keeps it from being beaten in the 7800. Also, the gameplay is really frustrating—particularly because your jump is a terrible forward somersault that does you no favors whatsoever. The manual, though, is pretty incredible. It’s completely bonkers—at times serious, and at times seriously silly. The villain hates space penguins, for goodness’ sake.
When it comes to game manuals, folks, they don’t make them like this anymore. (Or, at all, really.)
Enjoy!
