Level 2- The Empire Strikes Back NES / AT-ATs

[thefrogga84]

the only good level in this game!

[34LOLWTF]

why are the top comments the same exact thing? Well anyway awesome movie

[concord327]

i used to kill first two with lasers because the base guns help, and tow cable for the ones close together, the rest i laser or do manually like- 2:15- best part of the whole game.

[DeltaFoxtrotWhiskey3]

You dont have to get shot down to exit the speeder. I used to play this game all the time, Id fly back to the shield generator and drag my speeder along the ground and it would crash. Then I would have a speeder without having to kill any stormies

[bodunchar]

damn I destroyed all my starwars toys with a screwdriver :(

[joaovictor1994]

@bodunchar What the? Why?

[bodunchar]

@joaovictor1994 I wanted to see inside them and put men where they wouldnt fit otherwise! I just loved taking things apart!

[joaovictor1994]

@bodunchar That sounds kinda wrong, tho... But I understand what you mean xD

[Tonetone2121]

Shit is badass

[Jupiterworks]

i just love the ''animation'' when the snowspeeder turns around :D

[7Jamal8]

BEST MUSIC EVER IN A VIDEO GAME!

[mitrooper]

Why isn't luke wearing his orange pilot gear???

Small mistake by the developers, the Luke sprite on foot is wearing the rebel trooper gear. 1:56

[Daemonocracy]

@mitrooper lol, that is nitpicking considering this game completely changes the ending of the movie. ;)

This level was tough and I just flew around aimlessly many times trying to figure out what to do. In the end, I did everything done in this video: attacked from behind, attacked from the ground and wrapped their legs and blew their head after. I also knew about crashing on the ground instead of being shot down. The only way to figure this level out was to have seen the movies and emperiment.

[iscrapman]

That was a well made game , graphics where excellent , sound was great but above all , the scale is almost perfect , the shield generator is huge compared to the speeder .

This game could use passwords tough !

[RDarth]

Most excited I ever was playing the NES when I was a kid was this level of Empire. That long struggle getting through all of the Hoth caves was worth it.

[klangwiedergabe]

fucking cool!

[SpyroSkaterX]

If there is a kashyyyk level can you post it because thats my favorite level.

[iscrapman]

I never knew that you could destroy the atat by jumping and a at it , just like in the movie , i have to take out the nes and give it a try now !

The difference between this game and it's SNES counterpart is gloss vs. substance. This game was so cleverly designed in it's gameplay, while the SNES version felt like a tired re-hash of Super Star Wars. Wait till the nest stage when you can walker-jack the AT-ST's! The designers of GTA had to have been inspired by this!

[andthis1]

The game play when in the speeder seems very similar to Attack of the Mutant Camels also for the Atari. Though being able to go on foot was a nice touch :)

[granfo]

1:38 "Good shot, Janson!" LMAO Classic!! Damn, I love this game!!

[cardhussluh]

Great video and commentary, a fitting tribute to this great game. I have the NES, now I'm going to have to track this one down.

[JayArgonaut]

Still amazing after all these years, one of the best games ever programmed for the NES, makes full use of the console and the gameplay is perfect. As the poster pointed out, this level is a homage to the Atari 2600 game and funnily enough, Factor 5 paid homage to this NES version on the Hoth level of Gamecube Rebel Strike...

[RocknRoll7736]

Oh man this game is pretty hard, I used to rent it and got to the dagoba or swamp level...one day I'll have to buy it and an nes again and beat it.

[MerryChristmasJedi]

Get it on Virtual Console for the Wii

[alucard624]

The NES version is not available, but Super Empire Strikes Back for the SNES is available, along with Super Star Wars and Super Return of the Jedi.

[CrimsonGuardJay]

I have gotten all the way to bespin in the game, but it required a game genie to win.

[scottb3034]

Does shooting the head do anything besides trigger a musical cue?

[partymanDaniel]

lol just crash the ship at the 3 ATTs and do the rope climp cord ctu then hit the fourth then find another ship then do it again at the last ATT. the quickest way is harpoon teo, then crash and cut 4 get a ship harpoon 3 then crash and cut the last one then jump in a ship. Never have to shoot a single ATT walker,

[roningarrison]

This is the only level I enjoyed in this game. I would play it just to get here. It was actually faster to get yourself shot down and then climb up as like underneath the AT-ATs to just kill it in a quick animation. So you could use those trap wires to trip it up four times then crash your ship and kill the rest off a lot more quickly that way.

[randythebredeman]

Never knew this existed.LOL

[Gothiczartan]

there's luke in the snowspeeder and he's not even in his pilot gear (snowspeeder pilot outfit) in an alternate star wars universe for the Nintendo.

[decadecounter]

Brilliant game. That's a huge amount of graphics being shifted around (on top of parallax scrolling) for a humble NES. Very well programmed. Thank you for posting.

[Mandrew0130]

the best part of the game

[waschbeckenfrisch]

Good Job, great Video :)

[partymanDaniel]

I used to purposely crash then manually cut the cord on every at- at on foot lol I loved how you could run over and go up in there with the rope and light saber like in the movie.

[jackstein104]

great fucking game

[nazdorovjeCCCP]

great nes game

[jonCates]

this is an amazing walkthrough/documentation. thnx so much for making it + posting it

[miniwyred]

whats weird is that snowtroopers pop out only in walk

[nl3paul3nl]

what game is this?

[kubanitos]

I agree with Snowman20, great game... and video

[Snowman20]

What I loved doing was getting shot down, running towards an AT-AT on foot, then jumping towards it and throwing a thermal detonator inside it. Just like in the movie.

[Stu88lethbridge]

Easily the best graphics on the nes, one of the best games too.

[RockmanZeta]

I second that!
