May The Fourth may have come and gone once again, but where gaming usually doesn't get much of a look in… things are a little different in 2022. Which is the focus on this episode of Beyond The Scanlines, a dive into MegaStyle's C64 adaptation of Empire Strikes Back, originally released for the Atari 2600 & Intellivision.
