Defender Replica JAMMA Commercial Arcade Machine

Defender, published by Williams in 1981, is a side-scrolling shoot ’em up in which you command a starship flying over-scrolling landscapes to protect humanoids from invading aliens. Guide a left-right flight yoke to avoid, blast lasers, release smart bombs, initiate hyperspace jumps, and rescue abducted astronauts. Frantic firestorms challenge your hand-eye coordination.

The tall cabinet has side artwork of space combat and alien spacecraft on red and black backgrounds. A glowing “DEFENDER” marquee crowns the 19-inch CRT. The control panel is slanted with a yoke-attached joystick and five buttons for fire, smart bomb, hyperspace, and thrust. Crackling audio comes from a mono speaker.

All arcade machines in the replica category include the original arcade board- fully refurbished by pcb artisans and given a new lease of life in your arcade, bar or if you’re a really big fan- home!

These mimic the original arcade machine aside from the use of modern components like LCD screen (no more screen burn) and modern coin mechs. We can customise them to run any denomination or even have tokens made should you require them. These machines are built to last and pull in the punters :)
