Spectrum 128k
The Empire Strikes Back Arcade conversion to the Spectrum released in 1987 by Domark.
A much better effort this time around. Making use of the 128k AY Soundchip to give us some in game tunes this time. There is some performance loss but unless you had the original conversion running side by side, you wouldn't notice.
Again the game is endless so I just show a couple of waves to show difficulty progression. I spend to long in the first level as I try to see what happens if you don't let any transmissions through. Well I have to let some through to progress, but if score is important you would want to make it last as long as possible I guess as its not easy to get shot on this first stage.
After dying, I get on the score board but some how only in second place with a higher score..... Also the game seems to have bugged and not given me the award for getting Jedi bonus. It did give me the option to continue if I wanted to continue building the score from the wave I died on.
