#10 'Defender – Kamikaze Insanity' (Williams Electronics us 1981)

Defender was a pivotal side scrolling shoot 'em up in the 2D genre, not only that, but it could be said it was in effect the most influential of 'all' side scrolling shoot 'em ups. Defender was a notoriously hard-to-play arcade game, and could eat a pocket full of your money in one minute flat if you were a beginner. 'Defender – Kamikaze Insanity' re-imagines Defender with a three-dimensional kick, bringing the 2D spaceship-fighter to a full-blown three-dimensional life as never before seen. 'Defender – Kamikaze Insanity' by CMYK has a mint of just 7 that will ever be released. (File delivered as a high quality non-compressed Gif 1024 x 1024 px.)
