Man, watching this video makes me realize - some people got it and some people don't. I don't know if I can develop "Defender fingers" this late in life.

Check out this dude playing defender. While he may not be the greatest defender player in the world, he's way better than me.



By the way, if your the dude who made this video fess up!
spacies:

He's ok.

I could give him a few tips.

1: Reverse more.
2: Destroy the humans bar 1 or 2 in any wave after number 5. Otherwise too many mutants.
3: Smart bombs are to get you out of trouble and I don't use them to destroy the Pods at the beginning of a wave unless I have too.
4: Thrust more to complete the wave faster and avoid the baiters coming out.
5: In the first to waves at least, you want to try and capture all 10 humans for MAXIMUM points while the going is easy.

Other than that hes ok.

I play Defender quite a bit and have done so since the 80's. So I am rather good at it. (modest)

Keep practising leapinlew.

Thrust... MORE?! Damnit. I can't control my guy now. I'm bad about thrusting. I actually let off thrust to shoot. I'll work on it.

I was wondering about reverse. Good tip!

What about hyperspace? Is it totally worthless? I seem to die about 50% of the time I use it.

So anyhow... I'm waiting for your video! (and not the video of you building a cocktail table in 2 minutes.

Lew-

My new strategy to better my Williams game is to study my 11 year old while he plays. Now to get Timbercade done so we can execute. Would you like a front row seat? Clergyman discount for you of course.

I remember being good at Defender. Played it again recently... Well, in my defense, I'm still limited to playing on the keyboard for now.
