when the empire strikes back came out ..it was awesome...after that everybody wanted to attack the at- at walkers on Hoth..well back in the day, star wars didnt have any video games to speak of on home systems yet....until this little gem was released by parker brothers..

sure, its simple, has the 2600 graphics.. BUT your flying a snowspeeder, knocking out the imperial walkers....and you know what it still rocks! i still play this game every now and then because its still fun..

i remember having a hard time finding this one (this was wayy before e bay and the internet mind you) i found this at a yard sale with the booklet and original box for 50 cents....if your a star wars fan like i am..this is worth checking out.

This game is very simple and has no real end. You win by having the highest score. Sadly it does not save your score or even let you type in your initials. You are suppose to be a SNOWSPEEDER (More like X-WING) to take down the AT-AT (ALL TERRAIN ARMORED TRANSPORT). It's a side scrolling game that eventually wraps around it self. You have a map on the bottom telling you were the AT-AT's are at and after 2 minutes of staying alive you get "THE FORCE" and become invincible. The game ends when you run out of lives. I really like the music and find I it much easier to use MY SEGA GENESIS CONTROLLER to play. I own an atari 7800 which also plays atari VCS (2600) games.
