I am looking for opinions on what the best Defender clone is out there.
By best I want to know a blend of three things:
+ Playability. A faithful reproduction is always good.
+ Graphics.
+ Sound.
The first two are the most important.
Some things I consider unimportant:
Super-duper controller. Captain spacement cokpit controll not required. The machine just has to have a realatively full control set for the game play.
- Color. Hey, I know color was a cool quality of the original. But don't you think it would have been just as good without color? I do.
- Stereo sound.
- Photo realistic art.
- Extra glitz above the original games.
As an example: I think the game Protector on the Vectrex is a superb reproduction of Defender on that console. A great blend of of all the qualities I want in a Defender clone. Even without color.
