Just go my loose copy of Defender in the mail and through it in my CV. Another above average Arcade port by Atarisoft BUT.... since I got mine loose with no manual, silly question: Is Hyperspace implemented in this version? I can't seem to get it to work with any keypad press. Do you have to fly beneath the landscape ala the 2600 version of the smartbomb?

Admittedly this was on my first play through (bout a half hour) and I do know that my SAC controller is a little wonky. I'm going to try it with a standard CV controller after I mow the lawn (groan) but it also seems there is a weird lag thing happening when I change direction (left to right and right to left) and the player ship doesn't seem to want to thrust until the screen updates the postion.

This has been a great summer for me to pick up loose titles to add to my collection. Started with the standard loose ones (DK, Turbo and SAC Baseball) and my copies of Moonsweeper and Nova Blast that I lost the boxes for eons ago. After 3 months of avid eBay raiding, I'm up to 17 loose carts really nicely rounding out my collection.

As per usual, thanks for the info folks.

For the manual goto www.digitpress.com, then Library > Manuals > ColecoVision > Defender

In answer to your questions:

Hyperspace = 0 key on keypad
Smart Bomb = Right fire button

Probably doesn't work right with a SAC although I haven't tried myself - I just play Defender with the standard CV controller.
