Ye, no way this is running on anything other than an emulator, the aliens could be a bit 'flickery', but the sideways scrolling was always super smooth! (something equally noticeable on all Acornsoft games besides Planetoids).

@JayArgonaut This is an emulator running this. The machine itself had smooth scrolling for this. I had this and can tell.

This is Planetoid, not Defender! Greatest game on the BBC Micro (Snapper was next, a variant of Pacman). I nearly killed my BBC "B" keyboard playing this game!

This was a great version of Defender - play it for yonks on my mates BBC micro. Planetoid I think it's called?

@MizHydee251 Best 8 bit micro for learning programming. Only drawback was 32k memory. Regarding your comment that the Williams version was better. Of course it was, the creators worked for them and their game had hardware totally dedicated to the game.

OMG. The Williams version is waaaaaaay better. :P
BBC Micro sucks ass.

@cpmisalive play Lifeforce..on nes..much better.and still classic

Fairly decent conversion for the time, bit on the jerky side though. I suppose the programmers hadn't quite learned how to coax the best performance out of the Beeb back then.

Its what happens when all your astronauts turn to mutants. Unless you've got lightning reactions and smart bombs, you die.
