Defender
1981
Defender put players in charge of a ship sent
to protect mankind from wave after wave of attacking
alien forces. Armed with "smart bombs", and the
ability to use hyperspace to move quickly around
the planet, the player ship must fight against Bombers,
Pods, Swarmers, Baiters, and Landers - that can
capture the humanoids and transform them into deadly
and relentless Mutants. Fail to save the humanoids
from freefall or Mutant transformation, and the
planet is destroyed.
