"There's an Atari 2600 version of this game, too. It's in the same landfill where all of the E.T. cartridges are buried. The on-screen flicker was so bad, it apparently killed several people during testing."

LMAO!

It never was on KLOV, it was an April Fools 2003 from Nathan Strum of MacMAME.  See the address bar and the disclaimer at the bottom of the page.

PAHAHAHAHA.

I love some of the buttons:
- Nothing
- Time Warp
- Self-Destruct
- Flame Thrower

EDIT:
The description and game play tips are priceless.  ;)

I've actually had people email me about the roms (the web link is to my home page for my defender (orig) cabinet.

Nathan's a funny guy.... and that little prank was especially funny to me. Even after he told me he was going to do it, and borrow some of my pics, I almost believed it. I'm amazed at how many people HAVE believed it, when it is SO outrageous.

I'll let him know you enjoyed it.

Thanks for the kind words! It was a fun joke to write. I'm glad to see people are still discovering it. ;D

Originally, the bogus KLOV entry was just intended to support the April Fool's review I did for Cinemarcade's "The Games That Time Forgot":
