Basic Tips when you First Start Playing the Classic Arcade Game Defender
Well like most Games that have multiple Controls buttons & etc.
the Most important thing to learn is the Controls if a Video Game Player cannot Learn the Controls of a particular Game with Multiple Buttons & Joysticks you cannot play the Video Game Effectively,Get High Scores, Fast Times or become a Expert on the Video Game.
It takes a lot of Practice,Time & Patience. for any Video Game Player to get good on Defender it is a challenge from the Start.

If a Video Game Player cannot learn the controls or it is to complicated for them then there No Fun in Playing the Video Game.

Here is some Basic Tips when First Start Playing the Classic Arcade Game Defender Created by the Vidkidz Eugene Jarvis, Larry DeMar & Sam Dicker

The Main Objective for all Classic Arcade Defender Players is to Get a Score of 999,975pts & put their Game Initials like mine JJT & be on the Defender Hall of Fame All Time Greatest Top 8 Score List on the Defender.

When I JJT Johnny Played the Defender was set to 3 Ships & Smart Bombs.

You are probably wondering how do you Get 999,975pts since none of the enemies gives you a 5 not easy.

Here it is Special Note: You get 25pts for being hit by a Bullet from an Enemy: Lander,Mutant,Swarmer,Baiter or running into a Mine by a Bomber.

You get No Points for Hyper Spacing & dieing in reentry.

When you are close to 999,975pts you want to have as few Defender Ships as possible as to not go over a Million Points because it turns over to 0 Zero when you get a Million Points then you cannot get on the Defender Hall of Fame All Time Greatest Top 8 Score List on the Defender & have your fellow Arcade Defender Players see your Max Score on Defender.

You use Hyper Space to Destroy your last Defender Ship with your Score at 999,975pts you can put your Gaming Initials mine is JJT beside your score were upon you are on the Defender Hall of Fame All Time Greatest Top 8 Score List on the Defender for the World & Friends to see of your Conquest.
