In Britain the game came from U.S. Gold under licence. The leaflet of U.S. Gold's Commodore 64/128 cassette release reads "© 1988 EPYX Inc." and says the game was "manufactured and distributed under licence from EPYX Inc. by U.S. Gold Ltd." of Birmingham. The Games Machine likewise said that programming was "once again credited to Epyx with US Gold handling distribution".p. 74 (image 74), Impossible Mission II reviewManual
The Games Machine reviewed the Commodore 64 version in May 1988 and gave it 86%.
