The Last Mission
Classic 1987 robot arcade
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A 1987 arcade legend, rebuilt for iPhone. Split your robot, fly the head through 90+ deadly screens and bring the body home. Brutal hard mode, friendly easy mode.
1987. Opera Soft. One robot. One last mission.
Back then, arcade games didn't hold your hand. They got harder and faster until you ran out of lives. The Last Mission was one of the toughest, and now it's back on your iPhone, ready to test you again.
SPLIT UP TO GET AHEAD
Your tank-like robot comes in two parts. The tracked body rolls along the ground. The head-cannon can lift off and fly on its own: up narrow shafts, past cannons and homing missiles, into places the body can never reach.
But the head can't survive alone for long, and when you're hit, you restart where your body is. So scout ahead, clear the way, then bring both halves forward together. That's the whole trick, and it's harder than it sounds.
A HUGE WORLD, ONE SCREEN AT A TIME
More than 90 screens, from the depths of the underground base all the way up to the surface. No scrolling: every screen is its own little puzzle of walls, lifts and enemies. Find the garages and swap your head for other ships: a machine gun, a rocket launcher, an observer robot and more.
PLAY IT YOUR WAY
• Easy mode: unlimited lives and energy, instant turns, and a base that can take any hit
• Hard mode: the original 1987 challenge. No mercy.
• Touch controls made for the game: a floating joystick that flies at any angle, and a big fire button
• Progress is saved at every checkpoint, so you can always continue later

• Plays in English, Spanish, German, Italian, French, Portuguese and Russian
ABOUT THE ORIGINAL
The Last Mission was released in 1987 by the Spanish studio Opera Soft for the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and MSX, and later ported to the IBM PC. This app is a faithful remake of that classic.
The robot is ready. The base is waiting. Can you finish the last mission?
