Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

Overview

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back is a Pinball Table produced by Hankin Manufacturing. It was released in 1980 exclusively in Australia, and is believed to be the very first Star Wars licensed pinball game ever.

The game depicts several key scenes from the movie, with particular focus on the Imperial assault on Hoth. Guide the Snowspeeders against the AT-ATs looming overhead, hit the Rebel insignias to increase the value of playfield targets, then shoot down the four TIE Fighter rollovers to increase the bonus multiplier. Hit the Darth Vader drop targets on the two sides of the playfield to raise the value for Dagobah and Bespin, then visit Yoda and Lando to claim the points.
