* ShownTheirWork: How do you adapt ''Defender'' on the UsefulNotes/Atari2600, which has ONE joystick and ONE button? Pretty well. How do you do the smart bomb? The developers intelligently designed it so that you had to go ''under'' the planet's surface and fire (though that meant you couldn't use it at will in an emergency, you had to prepare). Hyperspace worked the same way, except you had to go off the top of the screen.

Too old to be a proper example of this trope, it lacks the predefined dense patterns of the likes of Touhou and DoDonPachi

Line, located at the far left edge of the radar, is a line that Mutants will not pass through, instead turning around to try and get you from behind by traveling the full length of the playfield. There is also a Swarmer Reverse Line, in a different location, just to the left of the player's starting position.

** However, the 2600 version of Stargate instead used the second controller for smart bombs, Inviso, and hyperspace. (Inviso was up, hyperspace was down, and the button was smart bombs if you had any left, otherwise Inviso if you had that but no smart bombs, otherwise hyperspace if you had neither). It's generally considered a much improved version all around, if someone less difficult than the arcade version.

The main teleport ability is officially called Hyperspace. The Stargate is a *different* (and not at all random) transporation ability.

Why is ''Defender'' historically relevant? Its success proved that even casual gamers could handle complexity. Without ''Defender'', it would have been risky for a company to release an arcade game that challenged the player to manage a joystick and six buttons... which didn't happen again until the first ''VideoGame/StreetFighter'' game in 1987.
