I didn't have any interest in buying a new pressing of Jim Power PCE, but if at least the gameplay is improved I'll buy a copy to support it.
Any other improvement would also be welcome. Especially adding some vertical sprites to the sliding strips in the shooter stages.

Cool, that would be great if they can make improvements to the game. I would totally back that!
It's a shame that they don't have the source code for the Turbo Impossamole. It could really use some tweaking, though I do consider it still better than the original Impossamole on Amiga, etc.

I sent your positive comments back his way and he's pleased, said 'that's awesome' about that. He says he had a PCE developer of some sort contact him about helping out since he specializes in it, so his thoughts are maybe that person could help clean the game up in those good ways to make it better.
Like you I find what the game is interesting, with issues, but if those were fixed up I'd buy a copy too. I don't have a lot of free time so I don't waste it on fury inducing bs.

Would you be able to find out from him, if there's any possibility whatsoever to get ahold of the source code for the Turbo version of Impossamole? Or maybe the source code is lost??
That game could be a really good game if it was fixed.

I think he said last we talked that when he bought the game he didn't get it, so I guess it's lost.

Any word on if they might be able to fiddle with the Turbo version?

Any word on if the Turbo version has been tweaked? I'll buy it if it's been tweaked.

The port is kinda meh (below average), but what makes it a dud is that the gameplay is partially broken. I have no idea how it passed QA/testing. None of the other ports exhibit the weird gameplay mechanics that the PCE version has. If they didn't at least fix this, then the re-pressing isn't worth anything.
