Doing this with only one life remaining will cause the screen to cut away from the action and display Yavin IV being blown to smithereens by a superlaser. The programmers didn't even allow players who made this mistake reach the end of their level, they just instantly fail the mission.
A gamer who has played everything from Daikatana to Dwarf Fortress. An obsessive film fanatic valuing everything from The Third Man to Flash Gordon. An addict to tabletop titles, comics and the classics of science fiction, whatever media they are a part of.
