What's interesting about this play style is how calm & measured it is. Seems really smart. Back in the day I'd just haul ass not letting off the thrusters and hope for the best. No wonder I always stunk at it. Still loved it though, so iconic.
125,750 is a very impressive score for this arcade classic. The rather strange control set-up it had made the game EXTREMELY difficult to play in the arcades.
Very interesting technique to make little attempt to save the humanoids and not being worried about the consequences, and also the extensive use of the hyperspace button? I have played Defender dozens of times in the early 80's in the arcades and NEVER used to hyperspace button. and hundreds more on the Amiga 1000 which didn't have Hyperspace. My highest scores of around 200,000 came (by far) on the Amiga version. May be some trickery here as some things he seems to ram with his nose and they explode and not him?
BS, i own the real game. This is some cheater ROM crap, if u watch closely he literally runs the front of his ship into many things and doesn't die. Some kinda of cheat mode.
He's using savestates. No way he could do some of those dodges yet not know enough to actually defend the humanoids or catch them when they are falling.
This player doesn't know how to attack UFOs, capture and save the people, speed thru, reverse, vertical moves, and shoots very slow. The machine was capable to shoot incredible amounts of shots way faster. This player always getting his/her planet destroyed. Real pros never have that, and know how to warp across to other side to save humans.

My all time favorite. Absolute perfect action and phase.
Wow this game has iconic sounds, brings back so many memories, rock hard though
One of the coolest arcades of the time. I love playing this on the SNES Williams Arcade Greatest Hits.

Last man alive plummets to the Earth.
"He'll be fine..."
Flies away.
Love how the game creates a 'bullet' 1mm away from your ship and it gives you 0.00001 seconds to react to it. 🤨
I had so many memories with this game
i dropped so many quarters into this game back when I'd spend all day at the mall.
and as much as i played it, I SUCKED.
I absolutely destroyed this game when it came out then woke up and had my cornflakes 😂😂
Defender - Stargate..it's sequel was beyond amazing..even on the Atari 2600
¡¡¡Que maravilla de recuerdos tan mágicos con mi Oric 1 y Defender!!!

No it's likely mame with the difficulty set low.
Loved this game...so hard though
Wicked hard classic arcade game, absolutely ruthless. Love it!!
I used to play this in the arcade, but I was hopeless at it.
Defender was ABSOLUTE NAILS.
This guy is insanely talented, never reached more than 50/60K. To me Defender is THE ultimate video game: I never played anything harder
12:14 when a Touhou player discovers the classics - nice dodge
TRIPPY WITH REM IN THE BACKGROUND WITH THE MAN ON THE MOON LOL
Imitated many times although never quite matched.
Amazing
Good game 👍
Schlauchi.... I wish I could play this game as good as you.
Well that went badly quickly
Iwata.
Too bad it lacks left and right directional inputs!
I'm guessing the cheat mode that you're using also prevents you from touching humanoids when they are falling? 🤔😅
Atari game?
No, a Williams game.
Avengers Infinite War.
I am Groot
anyone know where to find the emulation of this?
I freaking hate this game man, it destroys me in no time lol 😂
On my channel Squirrel1139 I recently beaten Silent Hill 2, What PS1 or PS2 game should I play next? Leave a reply with game title.
