Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (NES) full playthrough

[@djdunbargrapes1186]

I was on the test team for this at the Kerner Ave office. Couldn't believe they release this with 4 class a bugs that would end you game and had to shut it down. At least this was better than Defender of Dynatron City. Still have a production cartridge with the best game chipset in it. Life at Lucasfilm Games 92....lol

[@jameshill3403]

It had some control issues but still it was a good NES game I probably loved it because empire was my favorite movie as a kid but still a solid game

[@puppykitty6100]

Did anyone complain about the sound effects? Overuse of compressed PCM makes the ears bleed. I remember being a kid when this game came out and my friend got it for his birthday or whatever. The sound immediately made me hate the game. Thankfully he enjoyed it. :) I never borrowed this one lol.

[@frankbizzoco1954]

I wonder what the specific bugs were? It did have that sweet Vader dialogue towards the end. But then LucasArts redeemed themselves with 3 bangers in the Super Star Wars Trilogy. Those were tough, but fair I would say.

[@perfect_genius7058]

Sound bugs?

[@OldAyyEffDad]

Did anyone at Lucasfilms Games watch the Star Wars movies before working on this?

[@jasonbowser1261]

I remember playing this when I was about 8 and that was 30 years ago! Made it as far as Dagobah and that was enough for me. I never guessed Vader would use a blaster during the end fight with Luke.

[@josephkunath4173]

Bro same I only got to dagobah

[@aaronkuiper939]

Same. Never made it past Dagobah.

[@marcusredwine9918]

Yeah and have a blue lightsaber.

[@honhoya]

Oh my gosh, I was around 8 and this was the world's toughest NES game of all time. I remember wanting to cry after hearing that music when you died in the game, haha.

[@ProjectDevilEye]

The Vader breathing SFX sounded incredibly good despite being bit-crushed on the NES back in the day, I was honestly impressed.

[@gurratheman949]

Holy crap, Luke was so good with the force that he changed the ending of the movie! :O

[@bigdoublej74]

The whole part where Luke saves Han is patently absurd

[@adamsvideos4521]

It was The 90s, most of the 90s were patently absurd. Moreso than the 80s.

[@maureenleah13]

Ah, I loved the part of the movie where Luke took out an AT-ST with his lightsaber and then climbed aboard it to rain bloody lasery death on the stormtroopers invading the Hoth base.

[@Endru85x]

Guess it was some deleted scenes, hope they will release these some day :)

[@maureenleah13]

[@DataBase-ni5ow]

I remember a school friend lent it to me, I had a bit of a reputation as a good video game player. But I remember that he told me: you're not going to complete this one, it's impossible. I finished it in two weeks and my friend was speechless. I really didn't think it was that difficult either, just some confusing areas and not having help or guides made the games more difficult than they are. I really don't think it's a great game, simply not bad.

[@ПаноДол]

Which NES games you consider as great?

[@whitetiger8386]

I think this game is good very underrated. Remember playing back in the day

[@Benz2533]

honestly, when i first try this game. I dont even know what the hell is going on in the game. most of the stuff you do, I dont even know you can do it.

[@tyson1fan487]

I never knew about this game until recently I saw someone selling it on ebay!! This looks amazing!! I wish it washed so expensive 😫

[@ricardolobosolate2152]

I remember when play this game in 94' or 95' when o have 5 years old

[@stereomaster4231]

10 year old me made it all the way to cloud city but got wasted by the first bounty hunter at 48:30 each of the continue lives wasted away. Had to start over from the very beginning, happened twice that weekend, same spot. I returned it to the video game store and haven't cared to find out what happens after that for 30+ years later

[@bub777]

It's too bad NES never got a Return of the Jedi game. I guess JVC and/or Lucasfilm thought it wouldn't be very profitable and just move on to the next generation (SNES).

[@DaGamingDinosaur]

I absolutely love the NES Star Wars games I own the first one still need to get this one

[@frankbizzoco1954]

Dude's just going through Echo Base murdering AT-STs with his lightsaber like theyre butter. Then adding insult to injury, takes their walker and shoots the stormtroopers with it extra hard to make sure they're dead lol. I remember standing on the ledge snd shooting down at the atst and probe droid with the nes MAX. It still took forever because i had no idea there was a force power to make luke's blaster extra powerful.

[@malcolmar]

This games looks pretty good for a NES game. I only have the Game Boy version and was not away with how scaled back it was.

[@tylerdude1982]

I remember playing this as a kid and not being impressed with Luke’s red lightsaber

[@CH-uk1il]

9:53 Oh so that's what those noises were. I thought something was wrong with The Nerd's tv or something when I saw the episode.

[@JayMeDee]

My sister and I rented this one so many times from the video store, they should have straight up given it to us. I never finished it, even with a Game Genie. But I tried.

[@beatricesanfilippo6925]

Imagine that Star Wars Rebels season five was made in Nes :)

[@lilmik03]

“What’s this red liquid dripping from my ears ?”Killing my ears in the headphones lol

[@ExplorerDS6789]

Yeah, I remember the part in Empire where Luke engaged in a dogfight with Boba Fett and killed both him and Han Solo.

Vader with blue lightsaber 💀

Rented the game when it first came out. 45 minutes later I returned it. It was horrible.

[@maximilianosantamaria8615]

Legit one of my favourite games lol

[@sabas8168]

I agree. Much better Star Wars. I rented It about 25252 times in 1992-93

Holy shit this game sucks at allocating its voices. Thank fuck the SNES uses the sample system it does. Even the Genesis has a hard time with FM, in Sonic 2 SFX sometimes interrupts the music.

I hate this game. They ruined the controls. I can't even beat the second level. I hit the snow, I'm dead in two hits. I guess I just suck at it. This game should have unlimited continues.
