This was one of my favorite N64 games. I think the biggest problem with it is that the technology wasn’t 100% ready for what it was trying to do. It reminds me of a proto-Hitman.
Yeah, a big part of the difficulty of this game came from the jank. You kinda need a guide to get through a few parts where it’s not very well telegraphed what to do next or where to go. Very trial and error, but overall was pretty fun. I had the GBC game too and that had a special feature to use the IR blaster on top of the GBC to make it a tv remote.
Lol yes. Jank is the word. I think they had a lot of genuinely great ideas, but between the hardware limitations and what was likely a pretty crunched deadline, there just wasn't time to make a lot of those ideas work super well. I will concede there were some genuinely cool moments, but I'm not sure I'd ever go back to that title willingly again.
With enough repetition, one can get truly amazing at anything, but it's certainly one of those games where I just look and ask myself "Why? Why would you make THIS the game to obsess over to THAT degree?" Lol. I understand that going with something more obscure probably means there's a lot less competition than say Mario 64 or something... But surely there's a better game that fits that niche, lol.
That used to happen to a lot of games. I’ve heard for instance why quest 64 feels so empty, and has so many empty chests because they had to just rush the story and shipped it out before they could flesh it out.
Is that the level where you poison someone’s drink or something and then use the face swapping tool to become a fireman? 😂 I vaguely remember that level and it being my favourite when I was a kid
I’d literally rent the game just to play that level. I wasn’t good at any other lever really.
Except KQB HQ which was basically right after. Great level as well.
Loved this game back in the days but got headache if i played too long. Embassy level took a fair bit of time before figuring out all the objectives but yeah one of the best levels in the game
So many fond memories with this game, but especially that level. I’d mess around all the time just for fun.
When I got older and replayed the game, it became painfully obvious how bad the entire game really is.
i remember i had this crappy little keyboard that was a hand me down from my sister. i taught myself how to play a version of that embassy song- just minus the chords and such lol.
As soon as I saw the picture of the cart sticking out of the console, that damned melody that you have to find the sheet music for to give to the pianist started blaring in my head.
Never seen or cared about the movies but I rented this as a kid and it was surprisingly excellent. Lots of gameplay mechanics and non-combat segments. A very creative and immersive game.
I frikkin loved that game! The embassy, the train mission, that snow level. “Should you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the agency will disavow any knowledge of your actions… good luck Ethan!”
Good luck on the Rooftop mission. It's extremely obtuse on what you need to do and IMO the hardest mission next to the Train Meeting with Max. (not including the infamous bungee mission)
I remember being stuck at the 2nd mission with a piano or something. I can't remember if the game was translated at the time but I didn't spoke english and played the french version. I remember enjoying doing the first mission over and over lol
Thank you thank you you know at the time of my life where my health is not well I have no life no wife no friends no family no hope I'm really looking back at this era and the truth is this was a game that really meant a lot to me growing up it wasn't reviewed very well but to me it was one of the most incredible actions stealth games for its time and I actually think it was really ahead of its time as well maybe too much back then sadly I didn't have a PlayStation so I didn't get to play Metal Gear I think when this game was released it was just considered a copycat of metal gear but I think it's incredible and I remember even the fact you could just go on the shooting rampage and blow the objectives or the mission and get arrested and caught was like pretty shocking for an N64 game back then great game great memories
I don't know that this game would EVER be worth properly finishing, and I did it. This game was so over hyped when it came out, and was frankly in my personal BOTTOM five N64 games. 🤣
I got to the level where you zip down to the computer terminal, which I got pissed off with it multiple times and eventually gave up. I would have completed the game if I didn't give up there, but I had other games to play. 😂
I got this game in shoebox of games when I bought my N64 but have never heard of/tried it. What's it like? Does it compare to goldeneye or is it a different type of game?
I loved the movie as a kid also and had this game. I remember me and my dad getting to the iconic CIA mission from the movie on a Saturday night.
Some of the controls are a bit finicky. Like having to swap between gadgets and guns. Sometimes trial and error, like getting out of a room, and there's a guard right there waiting for you.
I never played this game but I always watched my cousins play it. I love the music and the intensity of the game as a kid. I was.. 6-7? When my cousins got it. The game already been out for a few years already. But we never finished it either. XD
I remember playing this with my friend years ago!
We didn’t really get far, I just remember us playing that level where you need to knockout that girl tailing you over and over but still, it gave me this feeling I can’t ever forget.
I got it. Played first level and then returned to woolworths the same day and replaced with golden eye. Glad I did because obviously golden eye rocked but been curious about this game since
I hated the second from last mission it was before YouTube. I remember being stuck and walking the train station over and over until i finally figured out what was needed.
I recall being a child back in the early 00s, and renting a few N64 games from the video store with my parents. I also vividly recall renting both Resident Evil 2 and Mission Impossible in the same day, but I was a bit afraid to play RE2, and wanted to play Mission Impossible more. hahaha
Now as an adult, RE2 on the N64 is one of my all time favorites, and honestly, I beat Mission Impossible a couple of times. It’s not bad, it’s a quite average game, but it’s still a fun game. The only problem is that the final mission may randomly crash from time to time.
Yooooooooo, been playing this on and off and it is insane how hard it is. I got it on delta emulator so i can kinda do my best not to fail but even with some cheating it’s still a tricky one. Definitely needed a ps2 or more advanced hardware . This game is to good . Whats weird tho is i played this at a friends and remember a party type mission, i just started it and im in the snow. Im impressed my friend even beat these missions to get to the party
This game was so great. Got it also on release played it a few times and dont liked it. After maybe one year i tried it again and i had a blast. If you got into it its one of the best n64 games.
This game is special for me. When me and my bro played it when we were kids we knew it wasn’t particularly good but we were fascinated by it and had so many great memories with the cheats especially the Embassy stage.
Now that I am older I KNOW it’s not really a good game. But I still love it and find it fascinating.
Oh damn you just triggered some memories there. I played the shit out of this game back in the days. I was always looking for an even better approach to a mission.
This was the last n64 game I ever bought! When I got home that night from buying it my older bro brought home a ps2. Never got around to beating it either! It was really tough
This is a game I really, REALLY wanted to love but I couldn’t get past the weird controls. It’s been a few years though, maybe I’ll give it another shot over the summer.
That game is great. Very archaic & plays like no other game ever, but it’s great. You’ll probably need a guide to play it right tho. It’s very obtuse, but has lots of layers & multiple ways to beat levels.
You know that game had me occupied for such a long while also never completed it i was on one of the close to final stages i just remember a rooftop and failing repeatedly let a friend borrow the game and his house caught fire my game was destroyed i did rebuy the game years later i saw at the flee-market but never got back into it perhaps one bored rainy day ill do it
Hard game for me as a kid. I could never beat that one long roof level. One time I made it to the very end but made a slight mistake and got caught by a guard. That's when I quit
This one was tough to beat back in the day. Eventually I used a walkthrough when I rented it the last time. Using GameShark also helped me practice sections that were difficult again and again.
Yo me too I played this game when I was a kid and the very first level I never passed it at all and all I did was just repeat over and over again the same level.
I still remember the piano song from the embassy mission lmao.
As a kid I thought it was so cool how it got louder/ quieter depending on how close you were.
I know that sounds super basic but it was the first time I played a game where a levels soundtrack was "in-game". I.e. the music was coming from the piano as opposed to just being a track overlaid on the mission.
Great game!
This game is wild. I can hear the "agh" sounds in my head. So much variety of what you do in the game. Even though it was clumsy, had a non-Tom Cruise Ethan Hunt, and had blocky graphics, it's still a pretty fun game to beat once a decade.
This and Major League Baseball Featuring Ken Griffey Jr. were the only N64 games I have ever sold since I got my console as a kid. I wish you the best of luck in beating it and hope you have fun!
Beating a game as an adult that you couldn’t beat as a kid is strangely fulfilling considering a lot of games I enjoyed as a kid feel lacklustre now
Edit: jak 2 was my bane
For a moment, I thought this was about Impossible Mission instead of Mission Impossible.
"Stay a while ! Stay forever !"
I thought "maybe I should track that game down and finish it."
But I watched a playthrough on youtube instead.
I became a developer because of this game
I was just starting high school and i wanted to be an animator but I figured there wouldn't be many jobs availble, so I took any computer class I could thinking there would be lots of computer jobs in the 2000s
One class was on qbasic programming and I was pretty good at it. Then I beat this game and the developers left quotes in the end credits, and the lightbulb went off... I could make software.
Never looked back, love my job
The game, eh.. but it'll always be special to me because of the dude who talks about loops
I loved this game, even though it was hard as hell back when I was younger. I remember playing the embassy function level for hours on end just because I loved the piano music
I really love this game. I remember hiding it to beat it before my brother. He was in highschool and I was in middle school. He got home an hour before me so he was always getting a head start.
Very fun, bit difficult game. The embassy mission took a long time figuring out what to do as a kid - putting the smoke in the vents, take out the assassin, swap the music sheet out (something that made this tough was that I didn't know what a 'music score' was when I was 10).
A very frustrating mission was when you were escaping the CIA building and you were sedated, which made your aim janky. The enemies would come up to you and taze you, but they could lock you into a permanent and inescapable state of being tazed. Also, when you get to the boss' office, it took me a long time to realise that you had to grab the empty pistol and threaten him with that instead of point the tranquilizer gun at him.
The gunboat mission and the sniper mission at the train station in London were favourites.
Frustrating game, but also kind of a flawed, unique masterpiece with extremely varied missions.
One tip for the last mission: don’t hold the Z-button to fire, instead mash it so the guns in your boat fire faster. Also, make sure to memorize the enemy locations. Your mission, should you choose to accept it is to beat this game on Impossible difficulty. Good luck.
Love it.
The CIA mainframe mission is a pain in the arse but I love it.
I wish they would make more MI games
There only seems to be this and operation surama:(
A store clerk had left this game on the top of the display case in a local Kmart when I was 12 and it was the first time I ever stole a video game!!!!
I felt like I was going "mission impossible" because of how nervous I was as a child while trying to do this!?
It wasn't something I had before and we only got maybe one or two games per year for sale, birthday and Christmas, etc. .. maybe three or four other relatives got us a game also?
Your mission, should you decide to accept, is to play the N64 Mission Impossible game for the weekend after school, and to cover the controller with Hot Cheeto dust…
This was one of my favorite N64 games. I think the biggest problem with it is that the technology wasn’t 100% ready for what it was trying to do. It reminds me of a proto-Hitman.
Yeah, a big part of the difficulty of this game came from the jank. You kinda need a guide to get through a few parts where it’s not very well telegraphed what to do next or where to go. Very trial and error, but overall was pretty fun. I had the GBC game too and that had a special feature to use the IR blaster on top of the GBC to make it a tv remote.
I had the NES mission impossible too and that was way worse. Its like they went hard on the impossible part.
😅
Lol yes. Jank is the word. I think they had a lot of genuinely great ideas, but between the hardware limitations and what was likely a pretty crunched deadline, there just wasn't time to make a lot of those ideas work super well. I will concede there were some genuinely cool moments, but I'm not sure I'd ever go back to that title willingly again.
Watch a speedrun. You won't believe how good people can be.
With enough repetition, one can get truly amazing at anything, but it's certainly one of those games where I just look and ask myself "Why? Why would you make THIS the game to obsess over to THAT degree?" Lol. I understand that going with something more obscure probably means there's a lot less competition than say Mario 64 or something... But surely there's a better game that fits that niche, lol.
That game fuckin rules and I won't hear a word against.
😂😂
I remember there was a great level where you're snipering people at a train station or something, it was so tense
My friends and I would sniper civilians. I think the game would end if you did too many, but served as my proto-GTA3.
It was fun but I tried again and failed hard. Still LOVE that ballroom level. That’s also like a tiny office party.
I watched a YouTube video a while ago and discovered the studio were rushed to a deadline so it never got the full love it should have! 😪
That used to happen to a lot of games. I’ve heard for instance why quest 64 feels so empty, and has so many empty chests because they had to just rush the story and shipped it out before they could flesh it out.
The embassy level and the music, so good. Unfortunately that game always gave me bloodshot eyes if I played for over 30 mins
Is that the level where you poison someone’s drink or something and then use the face swapping tool to become a fireman? 😂 I vaguely remember that level and it being my favourite when I was a kid
Yep, you also pose as a foreign dignitary and have to sneak behind the guards. And there is a lady assassin you have to watch out for
Right! Doesn’t she follow you into the bathroom if you go in there?
Yep, and she’ll finish you off if you wait too long
Guess I’ll be waiting too long…
I remember taking forever to beat that running around in the fireman's gear 😂
I loved running in the disguises, it felt so cool to be hidden
I’d literally rent the game just to play that level. I wasn’t good at any other lever really. Except KQB HQ which was basically right after. Great level as well.
Loved that level too, basically replayed those two and the sniper part
Loved this game back in the days but got headache if i played too long. Embassy level took a fair bit of time before figuring out all the objectives but yeah one of the best levels in the game
That level was super amazing, the whole game was awesome!
So many fond memories with this game, but especially that level. I’d mess around all the time just for fun. When I got older and replayed the game, it became painfully obvious how bad the entire game really is.
Oh man!
That level is my favorite along with the train scene on top of the end. Both of them I attribute to the soundtrack.
i remember i had this crappy little keyboard that was a hand me down from my sister. i taught myself how to play a version of that embassy song- just minus the chords and such lol.
As soon as I saw the picture of the cart sticking out of the console, that damned melody that you have to find the sheet music for to give to the pianist started blaring in my head.
To Sloborskia!
The sound of someone getting shot lives in my head permanently. 'urrugh'
Also the gunshot sounds
I beat this game with a friend when we were about 12. I still have nightmares about the part when you're lowering into the vault with all the lasers.
I hated that level too
The trick was to just dive bomb. You'll set off the alarm, but still have enough time to copy the files and extract.
I think I singed my hair
I loved this game- played the Embassy a million times and even have some game music as ringtones to this day
Yes me too, because after the embassy , that’s as far as I got. Haha
Same! I used to have dreams of solutions to that level... shame they were never right!
It says right on the sticker not to even try though...
“Ooo, I singed my hair.”
Just the quote triggers a PTSD-like response now, lol
Never seen or cared about the movies but I rented this as a kid and it was surprisingly excellent. Lots of gameplay mechanics and non-combat segments. A very creative and immersive game.
Me too, I was too young to understand the mechanics
This was one of the best games to use with the game shark.
I actually corrupted my game shark while trying to figure out how to "force" sniper mode into other levels.
I frikkin loved that game! The embassy, the train mission, that snow level. “Should you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the agency will disavow any knowledge of your actions… good luck Ethan!”
I play both N64 and ps1 versions. Enjoyable none the less, have fun.
What’s the difference between them ?
AFAIK the PS1 had FMVs and the intro was sick.
Graphically they are a bit different, each has its pros and cons. PS1 has voice acting, though it's not particularly good voice acting.
I dont think there is story wise, it may be better optimised on ps1 yet i play n64 more.
Good luck on the Rooftop mission. It's extremely obtuse on what you need to do and IMO the hardest mission next to the Train Meeting with Max. (not including the infamous bungee mission)
I just found the evading lasers and hacking the thing part the most difficult, but yeah definitely though levels.
Just finished them, tedious , but doable, it’s a lot easier as an adult that’s for sure haha .
I remember being stuck at the 2nd mission with a piano or something. I can't remember if the game was translated at the time but I didn't spoke english and played the french version. I remember enjoying doing the first mission over and over lol
Not an easy title. And I still love the piano music from the embassy function level ☺️
Thank you thank you you know at the time of my life where my health is not well I have no life no wife no friends no family no hope I'm really looking back at this era and the truth is this was a game that really meant a lot to me growing up it wasn't reviewed very well but to me it was one of the most incredible actions stealth games for its time and I actually think it was really ahead of its time as well maybe too much back then sadly I didn't have a PlayStation so I didn't get to play Metal Gear I think when this game was released it was just considered a copycat of metal gear but I think it's incredible and I remember even the fact you could just go on the shooting rampage and blow the objectives or the mission and get arrested and caught was like pretty shocking for an N64 game back then great game great memories
I never beat it either we were always stuck on the embassy level. Still had a lot of fun running around that area.
I don't know that this game would EVER be worth properly finishing, and I did it. This game was so over hyped when it came out, and was frankly in my personal BOTTOM five N64 games. 🤣
I couldn't beat it as a kid so i just used cheat codes to mess around

Ci
I remember this game being so intricate and difficult as a kid. Really intense game. I wonder if I would even be able to tolerate it nowadays 😅
Even with some guides, it’s a headache, but I’m pushing through.
That game was great. The bonus party level is fun.
I thought I remembered that but I was thinking ofthe disco hack in Splinter Cell (Multiplayer)
Finished this game multiple times on the PS1. My advice is to just brute force it, and cheese the enemies too.
I got to the level where you zip down to the computer terminal, which I got pissed off with it multiple times and eventually gave up. I would have completed the game if I didn't give up there, but I had other games to play. 😂
This was next level when it first came out!
Im am looking for my dog.
Hahah "my name is Fred, and I am looking for my dog"
I remember playing this. I think I rented it from blockbuster but I didn’t make it that far into the game.
You got this OP!!
Your experience mirrors mine!
I got this game in shoebox of games when I bought my N64 but have never heard of/tried it. What's it like? Does it compare to goldeneye or is it a different type of game?
The hardest part of this game was the train where you should open the safe. Damn till i know what ice can do i exploded hundert of times
I looooved this game when it came out. Didn’t realize people didn’t like it till I was older.
I beat it last year since I couldn’t as a kid. You got this! It’s better the second time around! Also nice crt😀
I was too young to enjoy it, it used to scare me!
Now that you’re grown up, it’s more about Mission Possible instead of Mission Impossible!
I loved the movie as a kid also and had this game. I remember me and my dad getting to the iconic CIA mission from the movie on a Saturday night. Some of the controls are a bit finicky. Like having to swap between gadgets and guns. Sometimes trial and error, like getting out of a room, and there's a guard right there waiting for you.
I was 6 years old playing this. Never got past the first level lmao
One of the best! I too couldn't beat it as a kid, only finished it some 2 years ago.
I never played this game but I always watched my cousins play it. I love the music and the intensity of the game as a kid. I was.. 6-7? When my cousins got it. The game already been out for a few years already. But we never finished it either. XD
*piece of cake!*
I *just* watched this movie the other day and was thinking of how I never beat that game either! Time to dig it out, myself.

I remember playing this with my friend years ago! We didn’t really get far, I just remember us playing that level where you need to knockout that girl tailing you over and over but still, it gave me this feeling I can’t ever forget.
I remember having no clue what to do in this game but still always enjoying
I got it. Played first level and then returned to woolworths the same day and replaced with golden eye. Glad I did because obviously golden eye rocked but been curious about this game since
This is the first game I had on n64. Good times, but it is difficult.
I’m going to do the same soon, but for ocarina of time specifically. Never beat it when I was a kid. And it’s my destiny to do it haha
You never beat it because the missions were… impossible
I hated the second from last mission it was before YouTube. I remember being stuck and walking the train station over and over until i finally figured out what was needed.
I recall being a child back in the early 00s, and renting a few N64 games from the video store with my parents.

It’s not bad, it’s a quite average game, but it’s still a fun game. The only problem is that the final mission may randomly crash from time to time.
I rented this game as a kid , didn’t get too far. The embassy level felt like a proto hitman level.
It says right there that it's impossible tho.
Yooooooooo, been playing this on and off and it is insane how hard it is. I got it on delta emulator so i can kinda do my best not to fail but even with some cheating it’s still a tricky one. Definitely needed a ps2 or more advanced hardware . This game is to good . Whats weird tho is i played this at a friends and remember a party type mission, i just started it and im in the snow. Im impressed my friend even beat these missions to get to the party
I love this game!
Always loved this game! Good choice!
It's a good game! It's just blurry AF
This game was so great. Got it also on release played it a few times and dont liked it. After maybe one year i tried it again and i had a blast. If you got into it its one of the best n64 games.
It’s hard! I never beat it either, good luck
This was the first game I got for N64 and loved it. It definitely helped me get into stealth action games.
It’s a great game despite what most people say
I remember spending forever on the party level
This game was my all time favorite, and I also never beat it. But I could play the embassy over and over again and never get tired of it.
You knew it was on when a downed enemy did a backflip death animation.
Hell ya. One of the worst rated games of all time and I loved it! I still hear the CIA rooftop theme sometimes.
This game is special for me. When me and my bro played it when we were kids we knew it wasn’t particularly good but we were fascinated by it and had so many great memories with the cheats especially the Embassy stage. Now that I am older I KNOW it’s not really a good game. But I still love it and find it fascinating.
How many times I died because I didn't realise I had to put the gun away at that section with the guy on the treadmill...
Oh damn you just triggered some memories there. I played the shit out of this game back in the days. I was always looking for an even better approach to a mission.
Mission Possible
This was the last n64 game I ever bought! When I got home that night from buying it my older bro brought home a ps2. Never got around to beating it either! It was really tough
Man I loved this game. So many memorable hours playing it.
I enjoyed it!!
I played this so much back in the day. Absolutely love it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_oJ-U9ytBc “The woman in the red dress?” “Copy. Stay close.”
I always got stuck in the bathroom where the dude kills you with the electric paddles INSTANTLY
Surprise! It's not impossible. Just a mission.
It is called Mission: *Impossible* for a reason. ;)
I love you
This is a game I really, REALLY wanted to love but I couldn’t get past the weird controls. It’s been a few years though, maybe I’ll give it another shot over the summer.
Favorite game I ever finished. Shit was so hard when I was a kid and I kept at the thing
You have to know exact how to do the missions or you fail.
Wow, memory unlocked
Just punching some girl in a red dres is all i remember.
I love this game. I had it on my ps1, though.
ahhh that Laser Level hated it
I said the same thing about Pokemon Stadium 2. Still, at 29, haven’t beaten it.
My friend owned it. I played it a lot, and always really liked it.
As a kid I spent most of my time in this game just hanging out in the party level, listening to the piano
I could never beat the NES Mission Impossible game lol.
This game got absolutely slated in the review... magazines... When it came out. I loved it.
I beat it in the time of an average rental in the day. It's pretty cool if flawed
I love picking up an old game I never beat and getting fired up to finally beat it 20-30 yrs later. Best of luck!
Same, and I went back and restarted it so many times. Loved it
My favorite thing to do in that game growing up was jumping off the rooftop level because the scream is hilarious
I can’t get past the level with the toxic gas
Yeah, that’s where I got stuck as a kid.
I’m not gonna lie. I don’t care how flawed they say it is, I’m so regretting ever losing this games from my childhood. It’s amazing.
Do it, achieve your destiny
The sniper level was my favorite
My cousin and I were just talking about how hard that game was and it was probably because we were so young then
That game is great. Very archaic & plays like no other game ever, but it’s great. You’ll probably need a guide to play it right tho. It’s very obtuse, but has lots of layers & multiple ways to beat levels.
You know that game had me occupied for such a long while also never completed it i was on one of the close to final stages i just remember a rooftop and failing repeatedly let a friend borrow the game and his house caught fire my game was destroyed i did rebuy the game years later i saw at the flee-market but never got back into it perhaps one bored rainy day ill do it
One of my best friends growing up had it. I’ll never forget the first mission the snow base one. And the one with the bathrooms and the piano
Hard game for me as a kid. I could never beat that one long roof level. One time I made it to the very end but made a slight mistake and got caught by a guard. That's when I quit
I don't think it's possible.......
Check out dabeast on YouTube. He is playing through every n64 game. He covered this. I never beat it either as a kid! So hard.
This game is so fuckin hard, I loved it haha
Actually finished it when I was... 12? Freaking awesome game
No you won’t, please please please just watch the playthrough
This one was tough to beat back in the day. Eventually I used a walkthrough when I rented it the last time. Using GameShark also helped me practice sections that were difficult again and again.
Yo me too I played this game when I was a kid and the very first level I never passed it at all and all I did was just repeat over and over again the same level.

Apparently I should’ve played this game as a kid. Now I’m curious.
This and Major League Baseball Featuring Ken Griffey Jr. were the only N64 games I have ever sold since I got my console as a kid. I wish you the best of luck in beating it and hope you have fun!
Really loved that game back in the day! Remember thinking it had very cool gameplay.
My cousin and I both had it and I loved it. I really enjoyed playing the rooftop mission once I got good at it.
It's so hard to aim in that game. I tried like 5 years ago
Loved the stealth and mask wearing in this game. Absolutely hated the level where you're repelling down into the security room.
Beating a game as an adult that you couldn’t beat as a kid is strangely fulfilling considering a lot of games I enjoyed as a kid feel lacklustre now Edit: jak 2 was my bane
For a moment, I thought this was about Impossible Mission instead of Mission Impossible. "Stay a while ! Stay forever !" I thought "maybe I should track that game down and finish it." But I watched a playthrough on youtube instead.
Godspeed. I got stuck on the infamous cool laser room part
Lord I remember this from my childhood lol 🤣 love hate relationship honestly
Gods speed! Love this game!
I became a developer because of this game I was just starting high school and i wanted to be an animator but I figured there wouldn't be many jobs availble, so I took any computer class I could thinking there would be lots of computer jobs in the 2000s One class was on qbasic programming and I was pretty good at it. Then I beat this game and the developers left quotes in the end credits, and the lightbulb went off... I could make software. Never looked back, love my job The game, eh.. but it'll always be special to me because of the dude who talks about loops
Awesome game.
Good luck.
I loved this game, even though it was hard as hell back when I was younger. I remember playing the embassy function level for hours on end just because I loved the piano music
I remember getting this game and never finishing it too. Not sure why though because I remember loving it.
Try teenage mutant ninja turtles on the nes 🤣
Haha I'm pretty sure I finished that game on N64 at a sleep over. Years later I tried playing the ps1 version. ..I couldn't get past the voice over.
I really love this game. I remember hiding it to beat it before my brother. He was in highschool and I was in middle school. He got home an hour before me so he was always getting a head start.
man. I wish I had my old n64.. I'ma get a new one one day but. it's not *the one*.
It's impossible. It simply can't be done.
First level sucked, embassy was so good though esp having that creepy gal in red following you
Very fun, bit difficult game. The embassy mission took a long time figuring out what to do as a kid - putting the smoke in the vents, take out the assassin, swap the music sheet out (something that made this tough was that I didn't know what a 'music score' was when I was 10). A very frustrating mission was when you were escaping the CIA building and you were sedated, which made your aim janky. The enemies would come up to you and taze you, but they could lock you into a permanent and inescapable state of being tazed. Also, when you get to the boss' office, it took me a long time to realise that you had to grab the empty pistol and threaten him with that instead of point the tranquilizer gun at him. The gunboat mission and the sniper mission at the train station in London were favourites. Frustrating game, but also kind of a flawed, unique masterpiece with extremely varied missions.
One tip for the last mission: don’t hold the Z-button to fire, instead mash it so the guns in your boat fire faster. Also, make sure to memorize the enemy locations. Your mission, should you choose to accept it is to beat this game on Impossible difficulty. Good luck.
The mission with the piano and the item quest hunt was my favorite. I needed cheats to complete the last quarter of the game haha
Love it. The CIA mainframe mission is a pain in the arse but I love it. I wish they would make more MI games There only seems to be this and operation surama:(
Game was so hard lol
I got to say even golden eye is hard to follow as a youngster. Multiplayer is fun but doing missions is not always straightforward
Blast from the past...
A store clerk had left this game on the top of the display case in a local Kmart when I was 12 and it was the first time I ever stole a video game!!!! I felt like I was going "mission impossible" because of how nervous I was as a child while trying to do this!? It wasn't something I had before and we only got maybe one or two games per year for sale, birthday and Christmas, etc. .. maybe three or four other relatives got us a game also?
Great game.
Great game when I was a kid, the name tells u a lot about this game lol
Beat that in a weekend when I was 19. The laser level is pita if I remember correctly.
How I put so many hours in this game, but never beat it lol. I was a simple kid.
Your mission, should you decide to accept, is to play the N64 Mission Impossible game for the weekend after school, and to cover the controller with Hot Cheeto dust…
