A good defender clone

Anyone ever played Guardian II - Revenge of the Mutants?

If you like Defender you can't beat it! Probably a bit odd that it came out in 1990 - but a decent game!

    Yeah, it's a good game, if a bit late to the market. It's actually based on Stargate (aka Defender II) rather than the original Defender.

    Yep, I liked that one too. Think I had it on a YS covertape, or something.

    No. There are two unrelated games both called The Guardian though, so perhaps they chose the name so as not to be confused with either.

    I used to play Guardian on the C64 all the time. Brilliant Defender clone; I got it on a compilation of Alligata games called "Action Pack".

    Guardian (C64) was released in 1984, authored by Steve Evans. According to a comment posted on Lemon 64, the C64 sequel wasn't written by Steve Evans. They also have the release date as 1985, which seems strange as Hi-Tec (the label) didn't start until about 1990.
