@imfsresidentotaku9699 2 жыл бұрын

@@tarantinoish Actually, this game was released almost two months before Metal Gear Solid and was based on a movie that was released two years prior, which itself was based on a TV show that initially aired 30 years earlier. In fact, the levels in this game play out like a stealth mission from the shows and movies, with the agents knocking people out, taking their identities, sabotaging equipment, faking documents, framing other people, and overall tricking the bad guys into doing what they want, so to say that Mission: Impossible isn't groundbreaking is a stretch. It makes me feel like I'm stepping into the shoes of an IMF agent. As Martin Landau, who played Rollin Hand on the TV show, stated in an interview, "Mission was a mind game. The ideal mission was getting in and getting out without anyone ever knowing we were there."

Interesting fact: Tom Cruise has a clause in his movie contracts that prevents his likeness from being used in toys, figurines, and video games. It explains why games that feature him, including the 2017 Mummy Demastered and this 1998 Mission: Impossible game, have characters that look nothing like him.

Kind of a fun fact actually, but the spike rays that we see in the 1960s was accidentally caused by US President John F Kennedy. Kennedy was a massive fan of Ian Fleming‘s original James Bond novels and said that from Russia with love was his favorite fictional book. They produce yours at United artists saw this and began to adapt Ian Fleming‘s work Doctor No with Flemings direct involvement. A few weeks after the film premiered, from Russia with love began to get a film adaptation. On November 20, 1963, private screening out from Russia with love was held at the White House for president Kennedy and he loved it. The success of that film lead to the film Goldfinger. Which really kicked the sky craze into high gear
