''Mission Impossible'' is a 1991 PC game (on DOS), developed by Distinctive Software, Inc. and published by Creator/{{Konami}}. Like VideoGame/MissionImpossible1990, it's based on the 1988-90 revival of the ''Series/MissionImpossible'' television series.

Players assume the role of Jim Phelps, who is tasked by IMF leaders to take command of a four-man team assigned to investigations worldwide. For the first mission, they're assigned to conduct surveillance on a person of interest named Douglas Choi who was wanted for murdering the chairman of a warehouse firm. They were also tasked to surveil a judge, Wilfred Green, who called for Choi's release. The IMF suspects that something's at large since similar incidents linked to Choi were being reported.
