The Empire Strikes Back (1982)

🎮 Before Fallen Order, before KOTOR, there was... a handful of pixels and a dream! Journey back to 1982 when Parker Brothers squeezed the epic Battle of Hoth into the Atari 2600's limited memory. The first-ever Star Wars video game had no John Williams score, no voice acting, and definitely no ray tracing - just you in a Snowspeeder, taking on an endless wave of AT-ATs one blip at a time. Join us for the untold story of how a simple scrolling shooter launched the Star Wars gaming empire we know today! 🚀
