'''The Empire Strikes Back''' (fully titled '''Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back''') is a first-person [[shooter]] arcade game that was released by [[Atari Games]] in [[1985]]; it runs on the same hardware as [[Star Wars|the original Star Wars arcade game]] (two Motorola M6809s and four Atari Pokey sound chips running up at 1.512 MHz, with a Texas Instruments TMS-5220 at 640 KHz). It is the third and final title in the original [[:Category:Star Wars|Star Wars series]], despite being based on the ''second'' film in the trilogy - and it was also Atari's only vector game after [[Major Havoc]], but only sold as a conversion for existing cabinets of the original Star Wars. | |||

The first level sees the player guiding Luke Skywalker over the ice planet of Hoth on a SnowSpeeder while destroying the Empire's Probots; however, the second level sees him against the Empire's AT-AT Imperial Walkers and AT-ST Scout Walkers (the SnowSpeeder will also have a limited amount of harpoons on this level which can be fired off at the Imperial Walkers' legs to destroy them). The third level will see control switched to Han Solo in the Millennium Falcon in a repeat of the original game's TIE Fighter sequence - and the fourth and final level sees him piloting it through an asteroid field. By destroying a certain amount of enemies, the player will receive bonus points and a letter will light up in the word ''JEDI''; once all four are lit, the player shall become invulnerable for a short period of time. | The first level sees the player guiding Luke Skywalker over the ice planet of Hoth on a SnowSpeeder while destroying the Empire's Probots; however, the second level sees him against the Empire's AT-AT Imperial Walkers and AT-ST Scout Walkers (the SnowSpeeder will also have a limited amount of harpoons on this level which can be fired off at the Imperial Walkers' legs to destroy them).
