This is Impossible mission for the Commodore 64. Scott Pierce, Gary Owens and I used to take turns playing it at Scott's place at the Union Manor Apartments in Campbell, CA. Scott was hearing impaired and even though we made fun of him when he referred to the game as 'Possible Mission' we were always welcome at his place.
Scott and I went to Leigh High School and I got to know a girl in the hearing impaired group since we shared an Art class together. I'd go over to Scott's apartment to use his TDD machine to 'talk' to her (through typing).
Going through adolescence in high school is difficult enough, but dealing with a handicap is most certainly tougher. At our high school we had hearing and speech impaired students, an artist without fingers, wheelchair-bound students, a dwarf long distance runner, and an albino shot-putter. Their high school Missions seemed more Impossible than my own.
CORMORANT!
