Pinball buffs will recognize the playfield as a hybrid of Creator/WilliamsElectronics' ''Firepower'' and Creator/{{Bally}}'s ''Pinball/SpaceInvaders''. The game plays reasonably well, though weak flippers (a common problem for Hankin games) mar the experience somewhat. Unfortunately, the license was not enough to save the company; ''Empire'' became the last game Hankin released before closing its doors.

''The Empire Strikes Back'' is a PhysicalPinballTable produced by Hankin Manufacturing. It was released in 1980 exclusively in Australia, and is believed to be the very first ''Franchise/StarWars'' [[LicensedPinballTables 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.
