Alright, let’s talk about Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back on NES. You play as Luke, hopping between planets (Hoth’s a nightmare with those snowspeeders) and slashing through waves of stormtroopers with your lightsaber. The controls are stiff—classic NES—but once you get the hang of deflecting blaster shots back at enemies, it feels pretty satisfying.

Some levels drag (looking at you, asteroid field), but the music nails that Star Wars vibe. And yeah, it’s tough—expect to die a lot before figuring out the enemy patterns. If you’re into retro challenges, this one’s a solid time-killer.

Controls: Arrow keys to move, Z to swing your saber, X to jump. Good luck not throwing your controller when the AT-ATs show up.
