Very difficult game with great graphics, sfx and a fantastic title tune. Unfortunately it's let down by being very little fun to play. 5/10

A game maimed by poor level design and a very steep and too unforgiving (unfair, really) difficulty curve. Could have easily been much, much better.

The music, though, is worthy of all the praise one can put into it. The title tune is lovely but the high score music is absolute art. Listen to it and see if you don't agree.

Impossamole is a very pleasant platformer. Of course, I was very surprised when I discovered this new adventure from Monty Mole, very different from the other games I played on my dule CPC. This last sequel of the series isn't really original, and it is surely not the game of the year 1990 , but it offers a very charming design. Cute and colorful graphics, correct level design with several possible paths and a lot of secret rooms in five huge levels, discrete but nice sounds, you will have good time playing this little game without any pretention. The only regret is a certain heaviness in the control of the character. And I really like the music, not an insult to hubbard "classic" (how pompous term ) but a piece of music using impressive samples back in 1990 (I love Barry Leitch work). Like "Little Monkey Lost", I think this game uses the same "engine" as Axel's Magic Hammer and maybe Rick Dangerous 1 and 2. In all cases, a game much better than the foul Giana Sisters

Our little evasive mole fromt the commy made his way to the Amiga in this very standard platform game. Threre just was nothing really outstanding about this at all. The title tune is an insult to Hubbard's classic.

Very average platformer for me, I never really liked the game that much, but the title music I did like It sounds very much like the title music from "Treasure Trap"... And indeed a quick search on here I find that it is indeed by the same person Treasure trap still a lot better though ... In every way!

A decent platformer. The style of graphics is lovely. I thought this was somehow closely related to Rick Dangerous and Alex Magic Hammer.

From recollection this game carried the **classic** C64 Monty on the Run title tune.. And managed to make a pigs ear of it.. Most shameful!

The game wasn't too bad but I never really bothered to play it much - something was missing - maybe one day I'll try and figure out what it was.

A "mole" with a cape walking around, (mostly) kicking creatures in the butt. Not my kind of game. Gets very boring very quickly, and is certainly not a game which has aged well. Dull back then, horrible today.

This game is frustrating, its all too easy to get hit by baddies as you get to grips with the sluggish controls. I like the option to choose which order you want to complete the levels though.

A nice fun platformer - Impossamole wasn't the best in the series, but it was the only one that made it to the Amiga - Functional Graphics and Sound are helped by addictive gameplay. If you like this game, try Chubby Gristle as it has the same elements.
