Attack of the Empire

Attack of the Empire is a 2D side-scrolling shoot'em up game, a clone of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back from Atari 2600, (with control similar to Defender) but without a Star Wars licence. The story is loosely based on Empire Strikes Back - The rebels' planet is under attack from the evil empire. The player is pilot of a space fighter ("the rebel's last hope"), he must destroy several 4-legged walking machines ("At-At" counterparts), avoid their shots and missiles, and rescue rebel soldiers - for this, he lifts them and carries to base for points.
