Super Defender

Super Defender is a shooter arcade in the vein of Defender. The action takes place on and above an area with uneven terrain, occupied by several people just standing. UFOs materialize in random places and set out to kidnap people and destroy our protagonist. When an enemy manages to snatch a victim, they soar upwards and eventually depart, unless you get them first and (Preferably) catch the victim while they are falling back towards the ground. Points are earned by shooting down enemies and extra points for saving and catching a person in the air.

The levels are side-scrolling and loop back to the beginning, while at any given time you can reverse your direction and head/scroll the other way. A minimap is always on-screen, where you can see the position of both friend and foe. Clearing the area of all hostiles ends the level and jumps on to the next. Players have full directional control and can go as fast or slow as they want, or even stay still altogether. Any physical contact with enemies will cost one life, and losing all three lives ends the game. One notable feature is that your fellow humans are vulnerable to your gunfire, so care should be exercised.
