We need a Defender 3 to put in the j roc

[RUSTINGEEZER]

I'm not too sure what this thread is about but here is some info:

There are at least a couple of good modern PC versions of Defender. Refender is very close feel to original with modern graphics and sound, and some baiter variations. Pentasma is a fun version with double fire speed. I haven't played either for more than testing purposes.

I've modified the original game in various ways, game structure, enemy mix etc. And I release them as a romspack suitable for mame or jrok. Note: Dave Langley has designed a ROM board that gives cabinet owners access to 16 (or 32) ROM versions.

Redplus has a selection of features available from the settings menu, eg skip waves, slow ramp, initial bombs, incremental humans, progressive bonus. And comes in original look, and updated bomb/ship display.

Pink ROM changes the points structure to favour defending humans, and does wave refresh every wave (giving you 1 additional human each time).

Abduction features lots of humans and lots of landers, no bombs and no bonuses. It was produced for competition days, so no one lasts more than 5 minutes.

Marathon scores up to 100M (but still has goldilocks zone every 1M). And has a ship and bomb counter. No one has clocked it.

Mayhem hasn't been released yet (there was an error first time out), but the idea was similar to that April Fool Defender 3 video. I would probably take advantage of the JROK 1.5MHz cpu mode to enable a more chaotic onslaught.

If you know someone in the facebook group WDPU, they will be able to find you these ROMs.

Oh crap I'm not on Facebook , I will buy a usb stick from you if that's possible , thanks

Looks like I've opened a few pods here and made a pretty good mess , swarmers and mutants are everywhere ,planet surface unstable ! Good thing for me defender is about cleaning
up messes and avoiding traffic .
The first choice is of getting a response from(info @rawthrills} the originator Jarvis of weather or not he wants to decline the job . There is a possibility they could call it collaborate the nether realm studios(WBD) on the job to avoid the legal bull shit . This is his legacy so no one would argue with a thing he would do artistically , solid planet , giant camels , whatever. His name on it makes it worth more to all of us . I can imagine the worst part about a source code is once there is one copy its just a cut and paste away from a free duplication. now we have to start accounting. If anyone accepts the job then hardware and code is their decision because of the money . Lets say 2000 people would pay 300 for a legit official copy on a usb stick they can load into the j rok FPGA that's 600,000 . People would probably pay more for a defender 3 in a jamma board that could not get copied as easily and updates new roms occasionally for more money .
Second choice If raw thrills declines then lets pay the guy in this thread JIMMER from over the pond to make us one . It sounds like he likes the game and knows what he doing . He could make us something .We are not talking about allot of hardware cost in usb sticks in this choice if that's ok with him .
Third choice do nothing and wait and hope this and other threads like it made some waves and drew some of the attention of the big dogs to this idea , they think they can make money ,.they do it and we buy it , simple .I don't know if any of you has ever called a video game making company about making a game but odds are good you if you probably will get someone close to the Himalaya mountains on the line who thinks you want an iPad app , never played the game on a real cabinet and wants 50 grand.
I like the Defender stuff mostly because most of all the other old games can be played on aniPadorononeofthosegamesticksthingswitha1000gamesinit .Iknowyoucanmakeor buy the special a CPO and run Stargate on MAME , and arcade 1 up has a multi williams thats playable . I have the Nintendo Williams classics and Robotron is at least okay in that version , but
forget about trying to use that controller in the defender version . Another good defender game for that is intended for the old cabinets is an investment for some of us and will make all are stuff worthmore.Hopefullywhoeverdoesthisdoesitwiththatinmind. NO licensingrights to arcade 1 up !!
Doesanyonehere whohasanycloutwanttocontactinfo@rawthrills?.Someofyou know sometimes my spelling ,grammar and sense of humor get me nowhere ,.(its not my fault these guys don't spell the word rock correctly)

Eugene told me (us/the facebook group) that he was contractually not allowed to do anything with Defender, this came up because Larry DeMar did do something with Robotron (Tie-Die ROM).

I had ideas to make a version with 8 different terrains and enemy mixes. Never worked out how to do the extra terrains (thought I could use the space in the unused ROM slot maybe) but I did work out how to change the terrain (including on the scanner unlike some/one of the clones). Playing on a different terrain was no fun at all though, because the terrain becomes burnt into your unconscious once you've put in your time.

Thanks again friend . I read that Eugene said Stargate was mostly Larrys brainchild also. I could learn allot from you in a few days about the old code.Things like, heres the color, here is the mountain geometry this is the hardware we use to upload roms onto the old boards etc . Im having the new silicone Mac" operation not permitted problem "downloading your roms . I will try on the old intel Mac .. It would be fun for me to get under the hood here . take parts out and put them back and see if it works , turn a lander orange kind of stuff. I guess I can start by just studying both the defender and stargate src side by side . I remember that there was sometimes humorous notes on the side about what and how things were happening .

Somehow I'm not getting less confused

Man! I forgot about Refender! It's a pretty good remake (although only for PC).

Thanks for the reminder! I need to play this again soon!

That looks awesome , pass , I wonder who claims that one And how a crt would handle it . I would pay 500 for a retail copy on a jamma w the correct button map, Looks like lots of room in there for more also .
