Overview

Defender is a science-fiction shooter series that makes rescue part of the fight. You pilot a spacecraft against alien attackers while protecting people on the ground; the arcade games pair rapid changes of direction with a scanner that helps you spot trouble beyond the screen. Representative games: Defender (1981): Shoot down abductors, catch falling humans and return them safely to the surface. Stargate (1981): The sequel adds an Inviso device that briefly makes your ship invisible and invulnerable amid the alien attacks. Defender — 3D remake (2002): Shifts to a behind-the-ship view and structured missions involving rescues, escorts and defensive positions. Suitable for: For players who like demanding arcade controls and splitting their attention between immediate danger and a wider battlefield. Expect quick decisions about when to keep shooting and when to break away for a rescue.
