Imperial Walkers advance across the ice planet Hoth to destroy the Rebel power generator. Piloting a Snowspeeder, the player fires missiles to dismantle heavily armored enemies on a large, scrolling screen. A radar screen at the bottom provides critical positioning data, helping the player track enemy locations during the mission.
