The Empire Strikes Back by MinionSoft

This is an excellent update of the arcade game based on my favourite Star Wars movie - MinionSoft's entry to the RetroRemakes 2008 Competition Showcase is a cracking game.

With good graphics, loads of sound clips from the film (as well as of course that wonderful John Williams music) and challenging levels (it may just be me but that asteroid field is darn difficult... As C3PO says, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1. . Then again, as Han Solo says... Never tell me the odds...

Every major element of the film's story is here, from the point of view of the spaceships anyway, from the battle in Hoth to that tricky asteroid field... Star Wars fans will love this game.
