[edit] Characters
The player can take control of either the female Tasha, male Felix Fly, or robot RAM 2. Each have different strengths and weaknesses.
- Tasha: Tasha, full name Natassia Tambor, graduated from the Moscow Republic University in 2023. She was the youngest woman to receive a PhD in Applied Cybornetics. Tasha decided not to become a scientist and instead chose to follow a career of gymnastics, an obsessive love of hers. Tasha is a 100% organic contender in the 21st century sport of Augmented Gymnastics, a sport where people transform themselves into ugly, part human, part machine athletes and then perform in front of millions of viewers on TV.
- RAM 2: RAM 2 is one of the SORIU series of robots that were designed and built for the Pacific Alliance by Elvin Enterprises. He is made of an alloy that can shift between solid and liquid states. The SORIU series of robots remain the backbone of the Alliance's Automated Defence Force (ADF). RAM 2 is one of only 2 RAM (Recon and Mediation) units ever constructed. After RAM 1 was destroyed by Elvin, RAM 2 decided to seek vengeance against the evil man.
- Felix Fly: Felix graduated top of his class at the Pacific Alliance Military Academy and moved onto a short but glorious career with the Nova Tigers: The 8th Squadron, Orbital Marine Corps. He became a national hero and retired after being nearly killed in the Algarski Conflict.
The player can choose to play as any of the three characters.
[edit] Technical information
There are two versions of Impossible Mission 2025, a standard version for the Amiga 500 and Amiga 600, and an enhanced version for the Amiga 1200 and Amiga 4000 systems. The versions required 1 and 2MB of RAM respectively. The game is hard disk installable. There is manual copy protection which involves the user being required to type the number from the bottom of a specific page. The game also comes with a built in system which will make fair use backups for the user.
[edit] Special Edition
The special edition of Impossible Mission 2025 is known as Impossible Mission 2025 The Special Edition. It includes a complete version of the original Impossible Mission that can be accessed during the game.
[edit] Super NES version
A Super NES version was announced in 1994, but was not released.[1] A review was published in the August 1994 issue (Volume 63) of Nintendo Power, which claimed the Super NES version would've featured more sophisticated graphics and smoother play control than the prior versions.[2]
