A bit of defender on 99/99 diffficulty using Blue Romset. Set at 8K free ship to counter the insanity and my lack of practice..... SD card runs out of memory 670K....
I understand that there are differences between the ROM sets, right? The blue set it faster than the red? I'm currently exploring Defender in MAME v0.151. The blue set seems kind of too fast. And this is played on the arcade cabinet? I've noticed that you also used a mame-setup on a LCD TV in your other clips.
The original ROM was prototype white, followed by blue, green and finally red. The final red release ironed out a couple of bugs here and there, and isnt as nasty. The landers spit at you less, and if you set the speed to 99 max on red roms its the eqwuivalent of 30 on the others. Game cant cope with 99 speed on earlier roms. Check out some other videos set to 99/99 on youtube.
If you do facebook i recommend you ask to join "williams defender players unite" page. All the worlds top defender players are there, as well as plenty of newbies. Ill let you in
Very kind of you. Thanks. I'll look for the group. And thanks for the info on Defender ROM-set colors. I'll be experimenting some in mame with the blue set as it seems totally hilarious.
Ok. I searched for "williams defender players unite" on FB but didn't get anything other than football related stuff. I found you though, and I sent you a friend request, or at least I think I did. Googling for it got me this page www.williamsplayersunite.com , a fine collection of info on all Williams games.
i just got me a Defender game and i have not played since the early 1980s i use to be able to take it to a mill and now i am struggling to get past 66,000 points i refuse to believe i in years past could play long games of Defender but now it is to much
Always impressive to see someone with your skills. I'm currently a freshman on handling the ship.
The only game one needs.
Best sound
Hard as nails
Pure skill required.
Put my 17 year old on my arcade1up to play this.
