It was a well-known fact among Plus/4 sceners even back in the day, and it was spelled out in detail in Checkpoint 6x16 (which we painstakingly translated, check it out y'all!) that TCFS never converted games, he wrote games using C64 graphics and music. That is exactly how we ended up with games that are really quite different from the originals in terms of gameplay (major examples: Grand Prix Circuit, Wizard of Wor, Commando (Plus4)).
Where are you getting "soooo possible" from?  Ask anyone (and I do mean it, C=64 or Plus/4 coders) if the original C=64 Impossible Mission can be converted to Plus/4, the answer will be a resounding no.
I took someone like TCFS who - let's face it - is in another class of programmer compared to us, in terms of technical skill, knowledge of sprite engines, and (perhaps most importantly) work ethic. I do hope he gives us a more definitive answer though.
