Defender

Defender is Williams' landmark 1980 side-scrolling shooter designed by Eugene Jarvis. You fly over an alien planet protecting stranded humanoids from abduction; any human carried off the top of the screen becomes a mutant. A long-range scanner, smart bombs and hyperspace help you survive one of the most intense and demanding arcade games ever made.
