About this product

Product Information

In terms of shooting action, Defender is a decent (if somewhat easy) adaptation of Williams' revolutionary 1980 arcade game. The bare bones are in place, but a number of differences keep the game from approaching Berzerk, Missile Command, or other high-quality Atari VCS coin-op ports. Sound effects are decent, and buildings have replaced mountains along the planet's surface. In terms of gameplay, the ship must be behind the buildings to use smart bombs and all the way to the top of the screen to employ hyperspace. Another problem is the enemies blink too much, and they don't look or behave like they do in the original. Still, the game manages to be fun because of the basic Defender formula.
