- I'm looking for anyone who's played ESB for the NES.
- I got it for christmas and have had a great time playing
- it. The gameplay is much better than Star Wars. What
- I would like to get though are a few hints towards the
- game. I'm only on the snowspeeder section but it
- occurs to me that there must be a better way to defeat
- some of these characters than the way I'm doing it.
-
- I mean: (spoilers)

- The Wampas: It takes something like 200 hits to kill this
- thing.
- The Imperial Probe Droid: Same thing.
-
- I have all the force powers (I think) from the ice
- caves (lightsaber, jump, run, deflect) of which I
- can't use any in the next section with the Walkers.
-
- The Walkers are another thing that's tough to kill.
- I can get the first five with the grappling hooks,
- but after that I have to fly to the last one and keep
- swooping around and shooting them from behind until they
- die.
-
- So, I guess I'm wondering if anyone has found any easier
- way to kill these things. It seems as if there are very
- few opponents that can be killed in one or two hits.
- Most seem to need 5 or more hits. Any hints would be
- appreciated.
-
- Thanks,
- Rick
