Title: German PAL Impossible Mission II for NES? Post by: Speedy_NES on July 20, 2005, 03:09:55 PM For starters, most NES collectors know of the 6 different Impossible Mission II versions out there (AVE, SEI b&w, SEI color, HES normal cart, HES piggyback, and Milmar). What only some people know is that HES released a few games with US boxes instead of their own cases, and with a HES sticker on the boxes.
This had not yet been documented for Impossible Mission II, so when I saw a HES version with SEI box + sticker on the German eBay I just had to win the auction, and now it turns out that the box has a German SEI/Epyx sticker on it, and the manual inside is partially in German!? I don't own the normal HES version of the game so I can't compare them, but could it be that this is a German / European release of the game? Does anyone know if the Australian HES Impossible Mission II also has a multilingual manual? I'm definitely glad I won this auction ;) -Speedy Title: Re: German PAL Impossible Mission II for NES?

Congrats on discovering a new variation |D Thanks, I hope I really found something here ;) I think I'm gonna post this at DP to see if anyone there knows anything about my discovery or something similar. I'll scan the stuff and upload it here once I get back to Belgium. -Speedy P.S. I almost forgot, there are actually 6 versions out there, two different HES versions (one normal cart, one piggyback that I forgot about), and the Brazilian Milmar release.

Box front w/German sticker: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/Speedy_NES/ImpossibleMissionII-Germanversion-B.jpg Box back (same as SEI version): http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/Speedy_NES/ImpossibleMissionII-Germanversion-3.jpg Manual (cover is same as original HES; unsure whether original HES manual also has German section or not): http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/Speedy_NES/ImpossibleMissionII-Germanversion-M.jpg Cartridge front (same as HES; upside down label): http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/Speedy_NES/ImpossibleMissionII-Germanversion-C.jpg Cartridge back (missing label; no sign of any past glue residue; unsure whether original HES version also lacks back label): http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/Speedy_NES/ImpossibleMissionII-Germanversion-2.jpg I could add the game to the database and upload the scans there, but seeing as we don't know much about this version yet, it's probably best to wait a little. -Speedy |
