Defender II adapts the iconic Williams shoot on HAL Laboratory NES with its ship defending planets against invader waves in side view. The representation offers bidirectional horizontal scrolling with radar and humanoid rescue in an original arcade formula. Honest for classic NES shoot fans, curiosity of the 8 bit HAL ported catalog.
