Description Defender
Defender is a clone of Williams' arcade classic Defender.
The player is in his ship equipped with deadly lasers and a limited number of smart bombs flying over a planetary landscape on a mission to protect humans under attack by aliens. The player patrols the two-way landscape in his ship, preventing marauding aliens from abducting humans. If the aliens manage to get a human to the top of the screen, it mutates into an alien super-hybrid that will come after you, causing a fatal collision if not dealt with. Each surviving human gives you a bonus at the end of each stage.
The top of the screen is dedicated to a scanner or radar that shows the location of all enemies and humans in the level. You start with three lives. Each time you are hit by an enemy projectile you lose a life, once all lives are spent the game is over.
