"At last! A version as fast and furious and as frustratingly addictive as thearcade original. Landers, Mutants, Bombers, Pods, Swarmers and much much morecombine to produce the ultimate space game!" [cite journal |year=1984|title = Cassette Inlay |journal=Invasion of the Body Snatchas!]

The Game

"This is a clone of defender and features Landers, Bombers, Mutants, Swarmers and Pods. There is an excellent radar screen, one you can really use for lining up shots, and spectacular explosion graphics. Sadly unless you own a Fuller Box, the game is totally silent. As usual with Defender games, there is not much colour, but the graphics are fast and smooth." [cite journal |year=1984 |month=February |title=Review... |journal=Crash |issue=1 |pages=90]
