A port of the arcade sequel to Star Wars, released into arcades in 1985; converted to the Spectrum by Vektor Grafix and published by Domark in 1988.

Unlike the Spectrum port of Star Wars, there is actually sound during the game in The Empire Strikes Back. The 48K version of the game has rudimentary laser blast sounds when you fire; the 128K version has both sound effects and music playing during the action, thanks to the AY sound chip.

While this is a pretty good port of the arcade game, it does suffer from the same problems as its arcade parent. Namely: that the stages are the same on each of the three difficulty levels of the game (which is not the case in the original Star Wars arcade game), and which results in the game becoming repetitive rather quickly.
