I've always been very impressed with the 2600 version of Stargate/Defender II. I think it is the best arcade port for the system.
Defender was probably my favorite 2600 game and Defender 2000 and Protector SE are two of my favorite Jag games. Very easy games to pick up and play but very tough to master!
Quote from: "Shadowrunner"Defender was probably my favorite 2600 game and Defender 2000 and Protector SE are two of my favorite Jag games. Very easy games to pick up and play but very tough to master!So you are not among those who felt that Atari port of Defender was poorly made?
I don't think Defender 2000 is bad at all. But I will admit that I do prefer to play Protector SE. The size of the ship on Defender 2000 makes it a bit harder to play.
For me Protector: SE is one of the best games on the Jaguar. Defender 2000 is actually best played in the "PLUS" mode I think, far easier to see what is going on.You might have noticed that the Atari ST version of Defender/Defender 2/Stargate was also programmed by Jeff Minter back in the early days of the ST. His work for Atari on that was what led to him getting hired to do Jaguar coding.
Getting a little off topic here but anyway what is the story behind Protector? Where does Bethesda fit in and how did Carl end up getting it?
