Defender

Original System: Atari 400/800


Defender was programmed by Steve Baker for the Atari 400/800 and was quickly ported the Atari 5200.  Both versions play exactly same, but the Atari 5200 has a different title screen with the options for the game shown next to a number for easy selection on the 5200's keypad (similar to the Colecovision).  The Atari 400/800 version makes the player press select a certain number of times until the option they want appears.
