1988 Star Wars “Empire Strikes Back” Arcade Game Ad

The best part of archive.org is when you’re searching for one thing and then accidentally stumble across something amazing. For example, a 1988 issue of The Games Machine Magazine features this two-page spread for an Empire Strikes Back arcade game. Check out that glorious artwork! I don’t remember ever seeing this art before, and now I’m left wondering if it was crafted just for this ad or is a piece of art that I’ve forgotten about.
