Brought to you by the team who produced the top-selling STAR WARS game, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK is the next stage of the unfolding drama.
This game follows the non-stop action of the movie and is a direct conversion of the famous coin-op.
The player takes the role of Luke Skywalker, piloting a snow-speeder against the huge Imperial Walkers. Darth Vader controls his forces with deadly cunning, using his Probots to search and attack the Rebel Base.
The action continues as the player becomes Han Solo in the Millenium Falcon, looking for safety in the galaxy whilst being attacked by Tie-Fighters and dodging asteroid storms.

A fine conversion given the capabilities of the Spectrum. Too similar to the original game for some people but still worth a blast.Pokes Available
