Attic Raiders Retro Reviews takes a look at how to play the arcade-styled vintage board game Defender released by MB Games in 1983.
The family version of the arcade game, this board game was based on the popular Defender amusement arcade video game released by Williams Electronics in 1981, and later ported to the Atari 2600, ColecoVision and Commodore 64 amongst others.
"Save the Humanoids from alien invaders.
Waves of alien Landers are trying to kidnap the Humanoids and take them back to their planet. Can you rescue them before they are turned into terrible Mutants? Only the strongest Defender fleet can fight off all the aliens and win the game."

I've collected a few of these MB games based on '80s arcade games, always surprised how complicated they normally are for a kids game.

@Erik.Miller Год назад

Ha! Of course, Defender was notorious for being complicated for an arcade game. All those buttons…!

I thought you might own a couple of this line. What's your favourite board game version of a computer game?

My recommended tab has been throwing me some curveballs lately and I usually ignore them, but I'm glad I didn't pass this up - you've got some good content here! Board gamers tend to focus on the more complex adult-focused games, so I'm glad to see someone treating a kid's game with the same amount of respect and care. If I could give one critique though, it's that your audio is very quiet - I had to turn my speakers up very high to hear the video.

@AtticRaidersRetroReviews Год назад

Nice to hear that the RU-vid algorithm is picking up the channel and getting it to new viewers! :) Thanks for the feedback. Did you find that the audio is quiet on just this video, or my other ones as well?

@Pokemanic33 Год назад

@@AtticRaidersRetroReviews I've only watched one other video of yours, but it was very quiet as well. For reference, I like to put RU-vid videos on my second monitor while I play games on the main monitor. Even with the game volume turned very low, it still overpowers the audio of your video.

They also did a plain cover for Donkey Kong and Pac-Man. I have them, but would much rather the artwork versions lol

@AtticRaidersRetroReviews Год назад

Agreed, the artwork is so much nicer.

Totally rad review, dude! It makes me oddly jealous - I already own a copy, but most of my games get played with my game group, and itʼs hard to get two‐player‐only games to the table! I think secret scorekeeping is not the way to go, but my main reason is that keeping it in the open helps eliminate scoring mistakes (just mistakes…surely weʼre not concerned about cheating, are we?). But I think your argument in favor of open scorekeeping makes sense too. And youʼre right: The movement might also benefit from a little house‐ruling. Whatever - I look forward to playing this…sometime!

Funny, I'm jealous in the opposite direction - lots of 2-player games getting played, but not a lot of 4 or more player games...
