Description
Defender II (often associated with the Stargate chapter of the series) cranks the intensity of the Defender formula: protect humanoids, fend off relentless alien swarms, and keep one eye glued to the radar as danger explodes from all directions. The game is about pressure and priorities—saving targets before they’re transformed, managing threats that swoop in at awkward angles, and maintaining control while the screen turns into a light show. It’s a classic “score chase” design with quick loops that keep pulling you back in, and it captures that era’s love for sharp reflexes and tactical movement. A must-have style of retro shooter for anyone building a serious classic arcade shelf. (Atari 2600 cartridge; original hardware required.)
