  An unusual, non-violent isometric adventure originally known as Zombies, Realm of Impossibility is a well-regarded title on the Atari 8-Bit that still plays rather well today... but be prepared for some increasingly bizarre level geometry as you progress! Let's Play! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvtn_PpQHtg

  Adding to the NO ZOMBIES discussion from earlier.. It works fine for me using the 'Atari800Win PLus 4.0' emulator (XL/XE settings), though it's much easier than ZOMBIES due to lower amount of enemies. E.g. in the first level, there are none here, while in zombies there's a zombie already on the second screen..

  I hear there's a rom/xex conversion. I'd love to play this again. My Ultimate Cart begs for it. Anyone? :-)

  @marco.nadal.75 Cool, good to know, so thanks for that. The problem still occurs on my actual 800XL, so is there a fix for that somewhere?

  .ATR version works in Altirra 3.1 (Windows x64) You must switch the machine profile to 400/800 48K OS-B for the monsters to appear.

  Excellent game. Too bad it can't be played on any emulator properly - the enemies don't appear even on the ATX version on any emulator I've tried it on.

  Fun, chaotic action. The two-player co-op feature was great since it made it easier to go deeper in the game levels. But I would usually drive my friend crazy because I would get too carried away with the dropping of the crosses, which in turn caused him to get trapped and then ambushed by the zombies and other creatures. :) If this game was to be released today, it would probably go with the original title that's it based on since zombies are in vogue (and marketable)!

  OMG I have forgotten all about this game. Very mysterious and good. I can't wait to try this one again.

  Fast paced and fun and a superior cooperative 2 player game as well. Music is also very clever and catchy. Another of my very few "excellents."
