Defender. Its a random experience every time.
Weellll, not exactly. The landers don't appear in exactly the same places and times, but there's a general range. Then the baddie allotment and dispersements in board two are identical every time. It can get somewhat variable based on which direction you go, what you shoot, what you don't - but I think the biggest variable in the game is player ability.
Berzerk and Frenzy are even more predictable. The robot positions are slightly changed around from game to game, but you can generally guess where they're going to be placed, especially later on (all directions they can fire directly at you, and very close!).
