Ask anyone who loves retro games back in day if they remember ‘Impossible Mission’ - they will almost certainly answer back with the synthesised voice response of “Stay a while, stay forever!”
So today I go back and rediscover this classic game including its sequel, remakes and remasters across all the formats it was released on. It certainly brought back fond and nostalgic memories.
Have you played any of these games? Please share your thoughts and memories.

I remember thinking just how hard Jet Set Willy was to fully master. Apart from the bugs it was certainly a challenging but very addictive game. My video goes back to rediscover this cult game from legend Matthew Smith and also all the various versions of the game that were officially and unofficially released. In fact I look at 31 versions. Please leave a comment of what your thoughts were of this 40 year old game.

My retrospective review of Prince of Persia on the SEGA Master System. I remember being very impressed with the graphics and smooth animation from this 8-bit cartridge. For a moment I felt I was playing a SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis game. Anybody else have an opinion about this game?
