Ferris Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I heard a *rumor* once that Impossible Mission was being done on the Lynx. I saw it listed in one of the very early editions of GamePro Magazine in the summer of 1989 when it was brand new. Does anybody know if this was ever thrown around as a title for the Lynx? I would think it would have been under development since the Lynx its self was developed by Epyx and much of the Lynx software was programed at Epyx as well.

Gregory DG Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 It was renamed "Electrocop." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Yeah, Electrocop and Impossible Mission are so much alike..... Actually, now that I think of it, I remember hearing about that too. I remember reading something like this in a magazine somewhere. But I don't feel like digging through loads of storage tubs to go looking for the magazine.

Tempest Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 I don't know if I can find it, but I saw a very different looking screenshot for what I assume became Rampage once in a Lynx mag. It showed what looked liked Lizzy or maybe even Godzilla walking sideways with either Big Ben or some other London looking skyline behind it. Very odd looking, and I never saw anything that looked like it again. Oh and is it just me or is that guy having TOO MUCH fun with 7800 lightgun games....

Ferris Posted November 1, 2003 Author Share Posted November 1, 2003 So uhh.... since when does the 7800 light gun make you orgasm like that? ...certainly news to me. Just confirms what I had always thought. Jack Tramiel really was a sick bastard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidcalgary29 Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 I remember seeing that screenshot as well. I always assumed it was just a mock-up, as it certainly didn't appear in the Lynx version. Perhaps Epyx conceived the Lynx port more in the line of "Crush, Crumble & Chomp" in its earliest manifestations. I recall that players had the option of trashing London in CCC.

Gregory DG Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Actually, I think the game was going to be called "Monster Demolition" before they got the Rampage license. Here's the screenshot, from Issue #4 of EGM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 That's it. I wonder what happened to that version. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
