The Empire Strikes Back is an unofficial Star Wars tribute that plays like a Defender-style shooter, complete with slick parallax scrolling and catchy music. Visually and gameplay-wise, it echoes the Parker Bros VCS version but updates it with cooler graphics and a modern touch. You fly a snowspeeder across Hoth taking down AT-ATs, though the game appears to have been an unfinished fan project with no official release. Still, it delivers fast-paced action with a strong retro vibe.
