Well, I pulled the trigger, after a few weeks of negotiating on and off with the seller, I ended up with an original Defender Cocktail! I was hoping for a bigger deal on a grail game, but that fell through, so on to smaller things! Way my luck has been, but I'm hoping to turn it around..
Serial #502991, this is in great shape! It appears it has had some modifications done to it, IE the battery set on the board, and it appears that this is not Black from the factory, but whoever converted it to black did an absolute amazing job with it! I actually like it better with the black sides than the woodgrain paneling, so it's all good!
I played Defender like crazy when I was younger, but hadn't played it in 15-20 years I would guess. I had forgotten how difficult of a game it is! I need to go into the settings and mess around, perhaps set it easier. I also don't remember the moutains dissapearing after the aliens capture all the flags (or whatever they are) and it staying that way for every round after? Is that correct, or is there a setting to make this easier.. because it gets friggin almost impossible once the mountains blow up and you go to the next round
Here's some pics, for now I'm going to play the crap out of it and decide as to whether to keep it or sell it..
