Defender was my all time favorite, and this has it exactly the way you remember it except for the Game cube or PS1 or 2 deal.
It also has Robotron plus many other great old games like "Marble Madness", "Joust 1&2""Defender II", "Spy Hunter". I still spend hours playing Defender.
Another good one is this http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index%3Dvideogames%26field-keywords%3Dnamco%20museum%26results-process%3Ddefault%26dispatch%3Dsearch/ref%3Dpd%5Fsl%5Faw%5Ftops-1%5Fvideogames%5F3112760%5F2/103-9505077-9393439
I have about 30 games for my Gamecube but spend 99% of play time on these two.
Bray,
Funny you should mention those...already have them for our Gamecube...we play them a lot too...although my wife can't get a handle on the controls for Defender on the Gamecube. She is only proficient on the original button layout on a standup machine.
I have done some searching on-line for the original standup games...$1,495 for a new / refurbished one is kind of steep especially when you are trying to hang on to whatever you can to use as the down payment on a new house.
Maybe when I hit the lottery...ALthough it
would be nice to get one and have it set up in the new gameroom without her knowing about it...but she would kill me when she found out how much...
Will keep looking...
