This year has been fantastic for gaming news! With standout titles like Dominion, Nigel Mansell World Championship, Musketeer, and Turrican 128k making waves in the community, there’s even more exciting news: the latest arcade-style version of ‘Defender’ for the Atari ST by Sark02 is now available! This game is a port of the 6809E Williams Defender sources, optimized to run smoothly at 50 Hz. If you enjoyed playing Defender in the past, you definitely need to check it out along with the gameplay footage below!
Here’s what you need to know: “This new port of the 6809E Williams Defender sources comes from the HistoricalSource repository on GitHub (https://github.com/Historicalsource/Defender). It runs at 50Hz and requires at least 1MB of RAM. The gameplay and algorithms come from the legendary Eugene Jarvis, Sam Dicker, and others. If it feels like Defender, that’s their legacy; if it doesn’t, then that’s on me.”
