Defender Handheld Electronic Game - Model 6088

(Entex Industries - 1982)

This sturdy VFD handheld Defender game is well designed and is a little on the large side, so it is better suited for tabletop play. Instead of a joystick and two buttons like the original Defender arcade game, you have seven buttons for gameplay.

Your right hand controls the thrust, fire and smart bomb buttons while your left controls the up, down, reverse and hyperspace buttons.

The battery compartments are on the underside of the unit and are easily accessed... it holds four C cell batteries. There is also a sticker on the bottom of the unit with basic operating instructions in case you loose the instruction manual.
