Landers, Mutants, and Bombs… Oh My!

 

The VPin Workshop presents the classic pinball from the late great Barry Oursler, based on the classic arcade game of the same name, DEFENDER. Once we tracked down the beautiful playfield and plastics scans of this rare machine, building the table from the ground up was inevitable (and fun). Defend those poor Humanoids from Landers and from becoming Mutants… Avoid the Baiters, destroy the Swarmers, and Warp yourself into victory!

This release would not have been possible without the legacy of those who came before us. Thank you!

I was a big fan of the arcade game Defender, loved it. The sounds and the atmosphere of this simple game. I never knew there was a real pinball machine version of this game! (I had thought someone had made an original table)

 

So I am mind blown with this recreation. The table looks amazing, the lighting effects as the ball travels around, the latest physics are great, flipper flipping and reacting amazing well. Wow. Oh, and I was so excited to hear the iconic "Defender sounds" - then just the sounds of the table, the ones the ball makes in the outlanes etc.. stunning!

 

thank you @VPinWorkshop   and all team members!!!

It makes you believe that you are playing the real table.
Top notch!

This is an amazing combination of an OG 80's arcade classic, innovative 80's pinball trying to capitalize on this quirky theme, and the VPW crew polishing up and resurrecting this oldie for us all to enjoy. This version of the table is far more vibrant and crisp, which also adds depth to the dimensions. Physics add proper weight to the ball, which is also augmented by improved sound. Now, I've just gotta figure out all the rules!

I have fond memories of playing the crap out of the standup arcade machine when I was young. Enjoyed previous VPX version but these versions (VPX and VR) are so realistic, table looks great, plays and feels great. Excellent implementation of Roth/nFozzy physics and Fleep sound effects, thanks to all involved for your time spent and for sharing yet another masterpiece.
