I once watched my friend Chris ('Kit') play this game for 3 hours on 1 quarter. He actually went outside the arcade, had a smoke and returned to still have scores of ships left!

1)Yes, 28 ships (4 quarters). 2) Yes it is, ran with MAME. 3) Yes, my friend did have talent, but he wasn't playing it. T'was I. 4) Nope, not auto fire, just smacking the heck out of the controller.
Thanks for hanging out,

Ok, wow 4 quarters on a mame cabinet?
You have fast hands. I just recently got my highest score ever on defender-392K and some points. I was so mad, I wanted 400K. Red ROMS, EV main board, stargate sound rom, and later version widget.
I like stargate better though. You have fast hands. I wonder what the diffuculty was set on, mine is Factory 5-15.

What a blast from the past! I used to be one of those one quarter - one million guys back in the early eighties. I was never good at Defender, but Stargate was such a beautiful program I had to learn it. Do you have one of these machines? You gotta work on your over all flying speed and the inviso button, man!

Odd how it was renamed to Defender 2 for me cause I never liked Defender! :P

It felt as though I was back in '81,those familiar sounds.I still recall playing for about 8 hours and breaking the 10 million mark,but the level of difficulty was a little easier than normal as you fellow old school gamers remember-but still(10 million)!!!

Ah, Edison Lanes, Edison, NJ, 1981-2. What memories that brought back! Spending entire rainy Saturdays running the machine with my buddy. Not exactly glory days, but good memories nonetheless! Thanks.

Awesome game on an awesome game!
Hard to believe this was made in 1981! The sweet 1980's games! One of the best ever - still beats the hell out of most video games from the last 20 years. Beautiful!

Back in the days I used to play this game. I would spend 25 cents and could literally stay on the machine as long as I wanted to. It was great fun. I do admit I did spend my share of quarters to get that good.

Damn dude you sucked!

idiot, defender had ... ( 2 months ago by musikalfiend1)

idiot, defender had more options (warp) as well as more weapons (inviso) so naturally it would seem harder. But the graphics action and theme were on point!

As a hardcore ... ( 2 months ago by ninelivecat)

As a hardcore Defender player circa 1983 it was much harder and it scared a lot of other
good Defender players off It didn't ship anywhere nearly as many units as Defender did
