Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back adapts the Irvin Kershner film on Lucasfilm Games/JVC NES with Luke Skywalker facing the Empire on Hoth, Dagobah and Cloud City. The representation chains platform and fixed pattern combat with lightsaber and Force in an SF adventure film license formula. Honest for NES license fans, curiosity of the 8 bit JVC catalog.

Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back (NES) price, value & rarity
European PAL cartridge of the sequel developed by Lucasfilm Games and distributed by JVC. Its value clearly exceeds the first chapter's, signalling a tighter European print run and fragmented late-cycle NES distribution around 1992. The Hoth snowspeeder stage, an emblematic moment from the film, anchors its identity with Star Wars fans, the complete PAL copy remaining the target piece across the continent.
