Defender (E)(Patience)
Defender, originally released in arcades in 1980 by Williams Electronics, is a classic shoot 'em up game. Its gameplay involves piloting a spaceship to defend against waves of descending alien invaders. Players navigate a scrolling landscape, firing weapons to destroy enemies before they reach the bottom of the screen. The Game Boy Advance versions, released much later, maintain the core gameplay while adapting the graphics and controls for the handheld system. While the original arcade game was responsible for setting a standard for the genre, GBA versions showcase different adaptations of this title, indicating diverse approaches to porting the game for a different platform. Different publishers and developers, as indicated by the various region codes and identifying tags like '(Patience)', '(Venom)', etc., handled these GBA versions.
