That's awesome! Is that the old text adventure games? Or something else?
Yes, the text adventures -- or as Infocom called them "interactive fiction".
yeah, I remember some of them! I also found a link to where you can

Impossible Mission wasn't actually Infocom. It was published by a UK firm called Adventure International for the C64 and VIC20. I've never played it, as I've never owned a Commodore machine.
However, if you're interested I have the original Adventure, all the Infocom, Scott Adams, Brian Howarth and sundry classic text adventures running on my site -- over 100 games in all.
I loved that game, is there a way of playing today? I just twigged about which game this was... destroy him my robot friends :)
