Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back (japan) Game
📅 1992 ✍️ Lucasfilm Games

This NES gem throws you right into the icy chaos of Hoth as Luke—blasting AT-ATs with your snowspeeder’s tow cable feels surprisingly satisfying for 8-bit. Then it’s off to Dagobah’s murky swamps (watch out for those sinkholes) before the weirdly tense Cloud City escape. The platforming’s janky in that classic NES way, but nailing the timing on jumps between floating platforms while Vader’s theme kicks in? Still hype.
Pro tip: The Hoth level’s way harder than it looks—took me three tries to realize you’ve gotta lure the walkers into perfect position. Worth it for that Yoda training sequence though.
