VectorGamer Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 (edited) Defender Defend the human population from swarms of attacking aliens. Extremely popular even though it was deemed a flop at a 1981 Chicago arcade machine trade show because of its difficulty. The attract mode for the game was programmed in just five hours.

VectorGamer Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 4075 That's the best I could do with a keyboard...kinda like asking someone to rub their tummy and pat their head at the same time... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Tyler Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 5,375 Never mind using a keyboard, just the general control layout is a pain to get used to. I'm too spoiled by the home compilation versions which allow you to move left and right instead of having to thrust or reverse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I don't use the reverse or hyperspace buttons, just keep going right and fire and bomb away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
