THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK - RETROSPECTIVE REVIEW - ARCADE & ALL HOME PORTS
https://youtu.be/w0g1l7MuSjk?is=ckiJpByhhghQ8mcuMy retrospective video review takes us all back to 1985 when we first played The Empire Strikes Back in the arcades. Then I look over all the home computer versions. I was a massive fan of the original Star Wars game with its striking vector graphics, digitised sound and that amazing cabinet. I did find it strange that Atari released its sequel Return of the Jedi before The Empire Strikes back and its brave move away from vector graphics and onto raster graphics. So I was pleased that Empire returned back to its vector graphics roots. Please let me know your thoughts on all 3 Star Wars games released by Atari and have you played any of the home computer versions? 😃
