Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back is a side-scrolling action platformer released for the NES in 1992. Developed by Sculptured Software, the game closely follows the events of the film, putting you in control of Luke Skywalker. You will fight your way through the frozen wastelands of the Battle of Hoth, travel through the swamps of Dagobah to train with Yoda, and finally explore Cloud City.
How to play: Your objective is to survive the treacherous levels, defeat Imperial forces, and complete mission objectives based on the movie. In the browser, use the arrow keys to move, Z to jump, X to attack with your lightsaber or blaster, and Enter to start or pause the game. You can switch between different Force powers using the Select button (mapped to Shift) once you acquire them.
Tips: Take your time exploring the levels, as there are many hidden power-ups and health restoring items scattered around. Master the use of your blaster early on, but remember that the lightsaber is capable of deflecting enemy fire back at them, which is essential for surviving tough firefights.
