[Episode 41] This month, barSILENCE is blasting off into the outer space battlefields of Defender 2000 on the Atari Jaguar.
Released in 1996, Jeff Minter’s Defender 2000 put a darker, futuristic spin on the arcade classic. It also featured an awesome, breakbeat and techno-infused soundtrack by Alastair Lindsay that was perfectly crafted for the new millennium.
Grab your ship and get ready to save some humanoids to this DJ-style mix of the techno tunes of Defender 2000!
