  • The Empire Strikes Back is the sequel to the popular vector graphics Star Wars arcade game. It was released by Atari in 1985. As in Star Wars the player takes the role of Luke Skywalker in a set of familiar battle sequences in a first-person perspective. Specifically the arcade features the Battle of Hoth and the subsequent escape of the Millennium Falcon into the Hoth asteroid field. The game takes the original gameplay, graphics, sounds, from the first arcade game and updates them to fit the new movie. Vector objects are now much more noticeably detailed, and the asterisk-particle shots from Star Wars are replaced with vector versions. The game was the third Star Wars arcade; Return of the Jedi came out the previous year. It was sold only as a conversion kit to the original Star Wars arcade game.
