Love to see this one!
A forgotten one - GORF!
I loved this game as a kid as it combined all the popular spaces games into one. The sound effect were great too! The game would tell you what level you had progress to. "You are Space Cad-et!"
Love to see it on the iPhone!

if you know how to put robotron on your iphone and get stuck at the factory settings screen...
click the insert coin + the start button together. This will bring up settings. Input (this game) -> change advance button to L1 or L2 -> return to main menu -> restart game -> you can now play robotron on iphone.

Defender for iPhone finally arrived!
Hi folks - just discovered Defender for iPhone, released about 3 weeks ago - it's pretty good. I've been playing it for a few days now & still can't get past level 3... just as difficult & frustrating as the original (which I was never any good at anyway, but doesn't stop me thinking it was the best game ever!). Look for "Defender!" in the app store, by a company called SOMA

As much as I love these old games - although Joust is by far my favourite rather than Defender/Robotron - why are people obsessed with trying to shoehorn them onto an iPhone? The controls would just suck compared to the arcades. Get yourself an X-Arcade stick or whatever and play it on MAME. I want developers to concentrate on new and innovative games that are actually designed for touch controls. I don't want old games that actually play worse than the originals.
Defender old skool
Hi, I notice you have the retro-graphics does that not create some potential copyright problems or is Defender now considered abandonware??

Some mixed news for all of you
Well the good news is that Defender HAS been done and perfectly so by Midway themselves! Go to the app store and search for 'Midway Arcade'.
You'll find not only is an exact copy of defender there, but also Spy Hunter, Gauntlet I & II. Rampage, Joust.
Absolutely stunning!!

We want Defender # on the # iPhone now
Please who ever wrote the game Defender back in the 80's, I think it's only fair you release it now on the iPhone format. I gave you a large chunk of my Art Collage grant money then and I don't mind giving you 99c for a Defender game app on the
