Star Wars Shadows Of The Empire N64
Game Information
The player controls the mercenary Dash Rendar in his efforts to help Luke Skywalker and rescue Princess Leia from Prince Xizor's hands. The story begins shortly before the battle of Hoth, as Dash Rendar and Leebo arrive in Echo Base to deliver supplies. He briefly talks with Han Solo, who gets him a position in Rogue Squadron. Dash flies in the battle, but returns to Echo Base when the shield generator is destroyed (Just as the Millennium Falcon leaves). He makes his way through the base, attempting to return to The Outrider. Dash encounters several wampas on the way, and has to fight an AT-ST, but eventually makes it back to Leebo and The Outrider, and they escape through an asteroid field.

Additional Information
The first level involves piloting a Snowspeeder as AT-ATs, AT-STs, and Probe Droids scour the frigid planet looking to crush the Rebel Alliance. The goal is to take out the opposition in four separate waves. Succeed and the game switches the viewpoint to behind Dash Rendar, as you guide the protagonist past the icy caverns inside Echo Base to find the Outrider (his ship). Snowtroopers, Wampas, and even an AT-ST boss must be dealt with before Rendar can escape.
The next phase, entitled "Asteroid Chase," involves shooting down TIE Fighters from a default view of inside the Outrider's cockpit -- all while trying to avoid asteroids. Eliminate 60 TIE Fighters and 20 TIE Bombers to advance to the next stage, the junkyard in Ord Mantell, to question the notorious IG-88 on the whereabouts of Boba Fett.
This level has Rendar running atop a moving train as players jump or duck to avoid hitting barriers. Survive the encounter with IG-88 and you're once again on foot, trying to find Boba Fett in the desert-like Gall Spaceport. As you make your way through the twisting canyons and narrow ledges, you'll need to look for the hidden jetpack so you can take on the deadly bounty hunter through the air.
Subsequent levels have Rendar riding a Swoop Bike through the streets of Mos Eisley and Beggar's Canyon while fending off rival bikers; climbing aboard the Imperial Freighter Suprosa to obtain secret plans for the new Death Star; trudging through the foul sewers below the Imperial City to infiltrate Prince Xizor's palace; and blasting off into space to destroy Xizor's Skyhook Station. Once players have completed a level, they can return to find hidden Challenge Points to unlock secrets on all three of the game's difficulty settings.
