Just to add. Defender took a lot of my pocket money in the 80's despite never really being very good at it.

There was something about the game that kept me putting my money in the machine, must have been the challenge. It has got to rank up there as the hardest arcade came to master.
CrazyKongFan:
I can get about 40K on a regular machine. Doubt I can do much on a keyboard, or my MAME cab (the button I'd use for reverse isn't close enough to my left hand when it's using the left joystick)
Ginsu Victim:
Though I used to play it in the arcade, I was little and it was pretty hard. I mostly played it back in the day on Atari 2600, so that wasn't quite the same.

In recent years, I'd grown fond of it in MAME, but since they've made the control setup more accurate, I've had trouble playing it. Now I'm contemplating setting my cabinet up to run an older MAME version, since the proper controls are difficult with my 7-button setup.
Ummon:
I never liked the reverse button on the left, so I have it on the top left button of the set. Fire is top middle, thrust is lower left, smart bombs are lower right, and hyperspace is upper right. Same as with Asteroids, I hate/ed the fire and thrust right next to each other.
