| The ZX Spectrum reviews name its makers differently. Crash gives Epyx as producer and "Szenttornyai Laszlo and Kovats Imre" as authors; Your Sinclair names Szenttornyai Laszlo alone, as "the programmer who masterminded Impossible Mission II"; Sinclair User's box gives the label as US Gold and the author as Andromeda. | p. 16 (image 16), Impossible Mission II review, facts boxp. 16 (image 16), Impossible Mission II review, facts box | Magazine |
| Reviewers describe the agent's lives and time differently. Computer Entertainer, reviewing the Atari ST and Commodore 64 versions, says he has no limited supply of lives but a pressing time limit, and Zzap!64 that on the Commodore 64 each death knocks six minutes off the time limit. Crash's review of the ZX Spectrum version says the agent needs "every single one of your ten lives" and has only three hours. | p. 16 (image 16), Impossible Mission II reviewp. 16 (image 16), Impossible Mission II review | Magazine |
