Request for Defender CP layout details
Paul Olson:
Just to clarify: I hate Defender and have never tried Stargate. I am making the panel to see if I like it better when it is not sucking quarters from me so fast. :)
MDF is cheap, and I have a drawer full of buttons, so I can make a panel for each if necessary.
I might get this done today, I just need to find the defender joystick and drill some holes.
I finished shopping my pinball machine last night, then on the first ball I blew a chunk off one of the upper flippers. I have to wait for a replacement so these panels moved up the que again. :)

Yep... I used to say that too... then I built a proper Defender panel and the game is still ultra-hard, but I love it! And I speak from experience -- I wish I'd added that Stargate invisio button from the get-go. :)
Ironically, playing Stargate is how I got my basic skills for Defender. You can play a double-quarter game in Stargate with twice the lives and a huge load of smartbombs. I played this "easy" way for a while and got the feel for the interface. Now I can't get enough of Stargate and especially Defender -- the original and still the best!
Good luck... these games can consume you... right now you think Defender only eats quarters, wait until it starts eating HOURS! :)
Eric.

This thread has some tips for playing Defender... The Day I No Longer Suck!

Maybe I should rename that something with Defender in the title. It kind of took off and has lots of cool info like the Donkey Kong thread.

I like the title! I guess you could change it to "The Day I No Longer Suck At Defender"
