Mayday arcade game. Williams hardware. Rubbish game!

This is an old game called Mayday. It uses Williams defender hardware to run it, but its a completely different game. Havent a clue what you are meant to do, and no idea what the mayday feature actually does.....

This is a french copy of the arcade classic Defender. Same game, but planet surface is different to original and theyve changed the graphics. Weird sound effects also, and I love the name of the enemy aliens

first 32 waves of refender. Opinions of wether its far too easy, or gets too difficult too soon? What do you think of themed waves (such as wave 30 that only has baiters and bombers : loads of em!)
Williams Stargate arcade : 100 million!
Переглядів 42 тис.10 років тому
Here is a video of the last 200K of my game of stargate that shows the bonus ship bug for the very first time on this game. 100 hours of (paused) play! This bug only happens between 99.9 million and 100 million. This was proven also by the great Ken House on Robotron. Notice how when the score rolls over (8 mins, 52 seconds) that it doesnt show the score properly until you lose a life or clear ...

This is a video of the excellent Defender remake by the legend that is Ray Norrish. Check out his Robotron remake, Mechatron 2154. Great stuff

Williams defender scream! Plus a bit of mucking around.
Переглядів 47410 років тому
This is the sound of 30 free ships at once being awarded The bonus ship noise repeats itself so quickly that it is known in Defender circles as "the scream" . Plus a bit of Swarmer herding and general mucking around in space and that!

Isn't it 10 million and not 100 million?
jesus fucking christ...... THE GAME ROLLS AT 10 MILL AND I ROLLED IT 10 TIMES.. Do you know ANYTHING about this game. You think I can't fucking count?
Calm down. I didn't see it roll 10 times.
Hi Paul, we spoke years ago I have just seen Refender and its awesome saw your name in the credits. I shall find the home page for Refender as I would love to know its history....still amazing to watch !.....cheers.
In "Defender 2", the Survival of the Fittest begins at 9,990,000. That means no more smart bombs, invisibility time nor free lives hereafter. Survive as long as you can.
i was a teen when this game first came out. it was BRUTALLY hard to get a respectable score. this guy is a master and makes it look easy.
been playing 40 years bud 😀
hey ray any chance we can pay for this on a jamma board that has the same button map as the jrok so we can put it in the old cabinets easily?
Seizure alert
Hi Paul, I was given the link to your vid re for helping with changing the difficulty level by Mike Hanson. Your vid has been really helpful, but as I have now the latest Mame, the settings for Defender compared to your are slightly different. But what I would really know is what 28 - Special Function is for, and also, when I change it, it sometimes or mostly changes to something completely different, like I might set it to 0, and when I check again it is at 3 or 10 or whatever, and Baiters are just flying at me on Attack wave 1. Have you any ideas, what it is for please, and why it does that, as all the other changes I make stay.
if you want to reset the game to factory you select function 28 , change value to 45 , press advance and rhe game restarts at factory settings 😀
starting difficulty is function 18 and progressive is 19. make sure 18 set to 0 and 19 set to 10 to start with. if 19 also set to 0 the game starts at max difficulty
Ye I found that out by trial and error. At the mo I have 18 at 0 and 19 at 1, but if I change 28, it goes back to 1but actauatly, its not playing too bad now, but as u said, I put both 18 and 19 to 0, and it was absolutely manic. So do you know what 28 is for, and are the numbers between 19 and 28 irrelevant?Thanks for getting back to me by the way, very helpful. I take it you have played it at a high level in your day. 40 plus years ago, I managed to clock it but took a lot of my 10p pieces lol, but its great to get back to it and I'm managing to play ok with keyboard keys, but I am considering Mike controller.@@MegaSpriggsy
check my video on blue roms (hardest) on 99 99 max settings
Does F S make it play at a basic level? I just tried what you said, and it made 18 - 5, and 19 - 15, but then although i'd put 28 to 45, it took it down to 7(mind of its own), but at that status, landers started to pick up humanoids at relentlessly, so I have now put it back. Not sure if it makes a difference but I am playing with the latest Mame (0263B) and when I first tried with my original Rom, it wouldnt take it and I had to find 3 files that it required, one being a video file and the other two being decoders, but I managed to get them, but it has taken me a few days to get it playing as best as it can but I'm still finding it a bit fast as waves gobut managed to get over 100k using keys, so maybe I am getting my skill set back compared too its difficulty?@@MegaSpriggsy
10 minutes to get 100 M points?!!
obviously not. jesus....... its a video of the last 10 minutes of a 100 hour game.
@@MegaSpriggsy oh. I thought it was a fake video at first. Now I might actually watch it.
Spriggsy! Still playing Defender in 2024?
you know it brother
@@MegaSpriggsy let's have some HD videos. Do some challenges like not rescuing humans or playing maximum difficulty from the off. Or my favourite, leave a couple of enemies alive, see how many baiters you can destroy or see how many you can dodge before you die.
check my other vids. I've got one that's starts at max. I have a poor first 100k but I turn it round. played on a machine I'd literally had a week!
10 million or a 100 million?
jesus.... how many times.... the score rolls at 10 million so I rolled it 10 times. 10 x 10 = 100 mill. sick of explaining this
@@MegaSpriggsy Thx so much, should have read the description, then I would have had a clue at least! Sorry, think i can delete the comment/thread then?
@@cooperfeld no worries. the bonus man bug at the end only happens just before the 100 million.
Such an intense game, astonishing a few people can play for this long at a time!
Kid was damn good. Then again in the early 80s were were all pretty good.
kid?? I'm 58 next birthday lol 😆
I played this when it came out in late 1980. It was called Defender then.
no. this is stargate. the sequel to defender that came out in 1981
how are you playing this on your tv ?i need this game in my life
You're the best Stargate pilot I've ever seen~ I was 16 when this came out in 1983 & couldn't fly nearly this well.
Now that's how you play the game. Great work.
I know I am MEGA LATE to the party but love this game! Where might I be able to download it from?
drive.google.com/uc?authuser=0&id=1gbPnXc1mYNn5-jtbQKStsOhEEzb6_gxD&export=download&fbclid=IwAR3KPV7UItIqrGy0Ksz_GHHZDdc-_h4zN6shW928CUG2ttD_yGdjpWQDUtw
A minor correction to your description: "This bug only happens between 99.99 million and 100 million". (I think)
awesome Paul !
I love you Spriggsy.
cheers fella. defender is dull on factory settings
The problem with emulator versions of this game IMHO is that there's nothing like the original hardware controls. Coordinating slapping that reverse button with moving the vertical stick up and down with precision ... What a rush! 😅
How much coke did you have this morning?
Easter Egg 6:04
yeah. thought I'd go for it 😀
I confirm. Total rubbish. At least if you clone, try to make it better. What a crap.
hello Paul and other defender/ Stargate players.We need a sequel to Stargate that incorporates the old characters and had the same feel. Maybe steal some blonds and brainiacs from Robotron and ,add a boss to fight Nothing to complicated., please no camels. Everything out there that came after including Williams Strikeforce in my opinoun stinks . I think what makes these games so good is that it is that they more fun the intended button joystick configuration. These games are almost unplayable without a up down stick , reverse etc.. I can't play the xbox/ Nintendo Stargate version on their controllers , mostly due to incorrect tiny buttons . Let's pool some money together and beg Eugene Jarvis or his grandkids to give us some propper upgrades ..It wouldn't have to be a full arcade build just something that would go into a pandora like arcade stick thing , any ideas?
This is probably the most informative video of playing defender I've ever seen, thanks Spriggsy!
Cheers bud. Remember, don't let them boss you around. They have movement patterns you can predict and take advantage of. Good luck sir 😀
When I start Defender, it goes straight to the service/test screen every time. How do I get it to go directly to the gameplay screen on start up? Thank you for showing me how to exit service mode. I am using MAME on retro pie.
hi bud. I've never used retropie so I'm not sure. mame on pc saves settings on exit, but maybe the pie doesn't? sorry I couldn't answer bud. be well
I was just given a Stargate cabaret cabinet in mint condition for FREE by a gentleman I work with because he needed it out before he moved and he wanted it to go to a good place where it would be taken care of I was in all by him, giving it to me for free, couldn’t believe it.
It’s part of my memory since I was played the NES version of this game. That arcade game has never been in Taiwan as a Taiwanese! And now I am playing the arcade version on the MAME arcade emulator. Thanks for the playing! That’s a great play!
Never thought I would see you playing defender again, one of the greatest players Paul
got my own machine now. and robotron!
Not bad, not too bad at all. You're okay.
Best game ever! Miss the 80’s. 😎👾
Memories of this game in the 80s while going to school man.
it's all good my friend 😀
Loved it
Thank you sir 😀
There's a spell where you are owning at around 12:00 a good while
Amazing..such a great game
But could you beat creepy cave on the bbc
NOBODY beats creepy cave my friend 😉
I'll say it again as I did 5 years ago when I found my original comment. This is still an incredible score regardless of where it was paused or not. It's not about testing endurance, it's about the amount of skill that goes into getting a score as big as you did. So wait, you're saying that there's a score bug similar to Defender and Stargate on Robotron?! My best on Robotron is only 20 million but I ended that game on purpose because I ran out of time. I also noticed in my previous comment from 5 years ago that my math was off. It's 1 hour per million instead of 30 minutes per million which makes sense. 100 hours was 100 million. It's been a long time since I had a 10-hour game of Stargate and put up a score for 9,999,975 as the top spot. Definitely in the early to mid 80s. After that it was only a few million here and there and then I would just put my initials. I had a couple of minutes to spare one day about a year ago and put up almost half a million on the one near me. Pretty much just to take over the top spot, but I definitely want to do a 10 million in the next month or so. So how many extra men and smart bombs do you think you had when you ended your game?
When that game came out there was long line waiting and a whole bunch of quarters on the game itself (that’s how us old people claimed our right to play next 😂) Thanks for the memories
I was a good Robotron player. Never a top player. I could get 10M on level 3 or 4 difficulty as I recall-25k extra life. I’m not sure maybe level 5. I tried higher settings but couldn’t get there. I really enjoy this game 2nd to Defender/Stargate it was my favorite arcade game. Joust was about my worst game. Sinistar was impossible for me as well.
we must be twins 😉 I suck at joust too.
That about my high score first ship @ default settings. In a arcade in 83 or 84. I think 84. These days I’m not sure how I’d do, certain I could get 100k with a few days practice. Very well done, you play great! Much respect. Took me years to get very good.
my personal best was about 280k 1st ship early 80s.. long time ago....

Never saw this newer version of DEFENDERS, looks cool,a lot more 3 dimensional/realistic. I like it! 💪🏻😆👍🏻⛰️⚡💥🚀⛰️🛸💥⛰️
This reminds me of when I hung out with my younger brother at verious video game outlets/stores, and we played this game for hours. He would rack up a ton of extra ships/bombs, while I'd watch him tear through the on screen enemies. Bought a hand held/plug & play, but it's not quite the same, you need a solid base for all the physical forces exerted on the controls. I strapped it down,still, it's not the same.💪🏻😆👍🏻
yep. I played this using a playstation arcade stick on my pc. glued to a wooden board 😀
Great stuff.. most I ever got was 200k on Defender and I think 220k on stargate. Love those games. Thinking about getting a stargate cab.
Does this play under mame?
It's totally stand-alone
The only game one needs. Best sound Hard as nails Pure skill required. Put my 17 year old on my arcade1up to play this. Hated it. COD boy. Thanks.
You are seriously taking me back to 1983 (when I was 16)~ but you are WAY better than I ever was. Rock on Paul~
thanks buddy. been playing almost 40 years so that may explain a lot 😀
Really hard to hear your advice over the game (accent wasn't a problem at all) but just watching how you play helped a lot. I play the Genesis version though and everything you demonstrated here applies perfectly to that version as well. Just proof that it's a very faithful port! Thanks!
As a kid I never understood how people could figure out the controls. When in even a slight panic, I forget which button is which
been playing 40 years matey 😀
Dude your game is bananas I'm not this good anymore highest for me is wave 30. I gotta start playing again
if you can do 30 you can roll it my friend. Good luck 😀
