Well whadda you know, their armour ISN'T too strong for blasters. Now who's going to explain that to the families of the dozens of pilots lost during the battle of Hoth? Such a tragedy
This may sound stupid but after 25-26 years, thanks to this video, I NOW know how to properly play the game. Walkers changing colors? Go to the back after yellowing the first one, etc?
"There's no telling how many hits you can stand from a walker, but it is something between three and five." "Any ship may be repaired twice." Weird, those weren't the rules I remember when I played this game. I could withstand a single hit, but could repair myself as frequently as I wanted.
I always liked this game. The colors me of like, a late afternoon winter day (being on Hoth & all). I remember getting this game for Xmas in the 80's. I remember it was snowing/blowing & cold outside. Xmas day, late afternoon, the Xmas tree lights were turned on, a ham in the oven, "White Xmas" was playing on the radio, & the fireplace was lit. It was all cozy indoors & I was play this game in the living-room on a 25in Magnavox console TV.
@gjc82071 I can totally relate to what you say, even though I didn't play that game. I have the same kind of childhood memories. Great times, playing outside or playing video games with friends when I was living in Quebec... Ah that's nostalgia !!
@krikrou100 Cool dude! I'm nostalgic + a lover of retro/classic video gaming & movies/film. Since I don't have the technology to build a "time machine", I collect emulators (& have 15 real game consoles) & ROMs/games for/of classic/retro game systems (& movies too). Besides just liking to play them, they kinda "take me back" & enhance the memory/nostalgia. @ times I remember where/when I played'em. It's as close as I can get to the real deal. Your age BTW? You into classic gaming at all?
@gjc82071 Hey man! Sorry for delay.. I also get my way to playing with those old and dusty games (My video game culture mostly starts around 1988). And I also think the main purpose of playing them is to get back in the past (a wounderful past where we only remember the great things, enhanced indeed by nostalgia of childhood). The music of the old games are often really great too and take you back there! It's a new kind of box of souvenirs, quite a recent phenomenon IMO... I'm 29 and you?
@krikrou100 I am 39, so actually we are a video game "generation" apart (me 2nd gen, you 3rd). You probably grew up with NES & Sega, where as I was raised on Atari 2600 (was actually the 1st kid in school with an Atari) & Intellivision, (& later on Commodore VIC20 & C64), right? Don't get me wrong though, besides the "memories"/nostalgia, I love to actually "play" classic games! So are you into emulation at all? Some retro emulators have Keleria Clinet to play PvP online! Take care! {=o)
@gjc82071 i'm jelly, teh communismz was upon us (yeah fuck russia), we didn't get any of this great stuff, only 2 hours of communist propaganda on teh telly :(( Anywayz time haz changed and we are in EU now and Russia is the same piece of shit country as before.
@flamewaker9 There is a tip/trick where supposedly you shoot, but not kill the last 1 (the more damaged, the slower they walk) & then do the same to the 1st 1. This slows down the whole line of walkers, giving you more time. You then pick off the rest in the middle.
A figure of speech, love, not a commentary on maturity. I could just as easily have used "darlin'", or "dear," and have, when the mood struck. Just cause we're all strangers, it doesn't mean we have to be nasty to each other, what?
The point is, while it WAS a really cheesy game (a lot of them were), it gave some of us hours of fun... along witha really flimsy excuse to drink or eat ourselves into a stupor!
Brings back some good memories... and the video gave me a laugh.
Plays similar to Defender (Minus the mutants, & killing all the people forcing an epilepsical eyestrain) but with Imperial Walkers! Ah, the very first clone.
As a kid, this was 1 of my favorite Atari 2600 games. I remember getting it Xmas morning & playing it all day on the Magnavox 25in console TV in the family room. Anybody ever think about how today, most new release video games are usually $50. Well, in the early 80's they were the same price. $50 (this game was, as was Pacman) Well, with inflationary adjustment, $50 in 1981-2 is more like $ 120 today! That is a lot of $ for a 4k cartridge!
I still have this game collecting dust somewhere. What I dont think people know is if you go nuts and shoot a walker alot while its exploding, youll hear it continue exploding. When you stop shooting the walker will still be alive but a bright yellow color.
@vandalaylatex6969 You can shot from behind them but they can still shoot you. Its easier to hit the weak spot though since the head gets in the way in the front ones.
No way. This guy must have graduated from the Billy Dee Williams school of smoothness. All he needs with that Atari console is some Colt 45. It works every time.
good ol' VHS tapes and game magazines, back in the days before the internet, youtube walkthroughs, and GameFaqs, before online game and optical disc formats. what a time to be alive
@brtshstel Yea, what you say if definitely true, but 1 good thing, actually, probably the best thing about gaming/the internet is, "Emulation"!!! Thanks to emulators, I have EVERY "Atari" (2600, 5200, 7800, PC's, etc, "EVERY") console & PC, & ALL the games/software for them! I also have literally every other "classic"/retro console/PC, & all the software/games (50,000+ titles). I could never have afforded to buy them all back in the day. Now, I can actually play them ALL! So cool/much fun!
I think it's a great series, solid controls, well designed and with minimal glitches and bugs. It had enough complexity that it couldn't be beaten in one sitting and had replay value, but it was simple enough to pick up and play (much like any atari game).
It was one of those games with good game play in a time where everyone else tried to make it look good (graphically) without regards to playability. Its a 90s problem (starting with the PlayStation and Saturn era) that grows even as we speak.
OK, don't get it the wrong way, but this game seems pretty repetitive. I'm not one of those: "OMG, dis gaem SUXXoRZ, it haves bad grafikzz!!1two". I wouldn't call myself 'retro' gamer, but I appreciate old games. But... this game just seems like you're doing the same stuff over and over again - shoot at the walker 48, then repeat, repeat again, one more time, kill the last walker, and... everything repeats from the beginning. Fun at first, but gets repetitive quickly. Not a bad game, though!
Wow... it's amazing how much technology has progressed after only about 25 years. We went from this to The Force Unleashed. Incredible. "You can IMAGINE you're Luke Skywalker". No one has to imagine anymore...
You just cant appreciate classic computers can you? The 70s-80s is considered the golden age on computers because there was so much diversity! Now today everything is so generic. Big companies like Sony Microsoft and Apple have created what most (who know nothing about computers) consider a standard. With this new standard, there is less room for progression.
I disagree, one thing I hate about console gaming is that I have to buy all the systems to play all the games. If the number of consoles is more then 3, there's a problem.
This is actually a great strategy video--They very carefully explain all the different game mechanics and how you can exploit them. With examples in slow motion, too!
DRectum is obviously looking for attention his mommy isnt giving him. But dont worry David, the guys who played this game (30-40) years were sure giving it to your mom! Just imagine all those guys nailing her mouth, vag and anus all thoughs years only to make someone like you in the end. I think you should thank this game for helping your dad by exercising this fingers for your mom!

Hey faggot, get your ass out of here. The only thing worse than a bald guy with glasses is a whiny baby without a brain. If you had READ my comment, you would see I didn't praise this game. I don't think any of us here are serious about this game. But when you assume that a game is bad because of it's graphics and sound, thats when you need to take your commens and shove them up your ***. They didn't have the technology we do, what do you expect? GTFO you 12 year bastard.

"The player who can imagine himself or herself as Luke Skywalker...." You're gonna need a lot of imagining for this game! lolz... j/k I ♥ Atari games.
I like the way this is presented. Modern game enthusiasts are often embarrassingly passionate about their hobby, treating good games as if they had descended from Heaven in a giant clam, and ravaging bad games like unfunny insult comics (ever read an issue of Game Informer?). This guy has a healthy appreciation for his hobby, and treats it simply as that: a hobby.

Best Star Wars game to date.
90% of the other games are total shit.
patmathis 2 years ago 2
but in that 10% of not-shit games is the Rogue Squadron series.
brtshstel 2 years ago
See, I don't get that...
ALLOT of people swear by the series, and I just never got the series.
I guess it's a very arcadey title (which I don't mean to sound like a bad thing) in a time when I was really into old school DOS games.
My picks for the 10%:
-Dark Forces 1 & 2 (Jedi Knight).
-Tie Fighter
-X Wing
-The SNES Series
patmathis 2 years ago
I think it's a great series, solid controls, well designed and with minimal glitches and bugs. It had enough complexity that it couldn't be beaten in one sitting and had replay value, but it was simple enough to pick up and play (much like any atari game).
It was one of those games with good game play in a time where everyone else tried to make it look good (graphically) without regards to playability. Its a 90s problem (starting with the PlayStation and Saturn era) that grows even as we speak.

OK, don't get it the wrong way, but this game seems pretty repetitive. I'm not one of those: "OMG, dis gaem SUXXoRZ, it haves bad grafikzz!!1two". I wouldn't call myself 'retro' gamer, but I appreciate old games. But... this game just seems like you're doing the same stuff over and over again - shoot at the walker 48, then repeat, repeat again, one more time, kill the last walker, and... everything repeats from the beginning. Fun at first, but gets repetitive quickly. Not a bad game, though!

Sweet, I have this game via an emulator and I couldn't figure out how to play this (I shot the walker but didn't understand the whole color thing).
Cool video.

Wow... it's amazing how much technology has progressed after only about 25 years. We went from this to The Force Unleashed. Incredible. "You can IMAGINE you're Luke Skywalker". No one has to imagine anymore...

You just cant appreciate classic computers can you? The 70s-80s is considered the golden age on computers because there was so much diversity! Now today everything is so generic. Big companies like Sony Microsoft and Apple have created what most (who know nothing about computers) consider a standard. With this new standard, there is less room for progression.
ATARI 4 LIFE!

I disagree, one thing I hate about console gaming is that I have to buy all the systems to play all the games. If the number of consoles is more then 3, there's a problem.

DRectum is obviously looking for attention his mommy isnt giving him. But dont worry David, the guys who played this game (30-40) years were sure giving it to your mom! Just imagine all those guys nailing her mouth, vag and anus all thoughs years only to make someone like you in the end. I think you should thank this game for helping your dad by exercising this fingers for your mom!

Hey faggot, get your ass out of here. The only thing worse than a bald guy with glasses is a whiny baby without a brain. If you had READ my comment, you would see I didn't praise this game. I don't think any of us here are serious about this game. But when you assume that a game is bad because of it's graphics and sound, thats when you need to take your commens and shove them up your ***. They didn't have the technology we do, what do you expect? GTFO you 12 year bastard.

I like the way this is presented. Modern game enthusiasts are often embarrassingly passionate about their hobby, treating good games as if they had descended from Heaven in a giant clam, and ravaging bad games like unfunny insult comics (ever read an issue of Game Informer?). This guy has a healthy appreciation for his hobby, and treats it simply as that: a hobby.
