Never knew Taito did a knock off of Defender....or is this some kind of
hack job? Thoughts...
Not my auction:

the joystick doesn't look original, from the flyer looks like it had one
similar to a berzerk bat.

anyone have one of these in a taito cocktail table?
email me

Troy,

It was licensed by Taito. Check the RGVAC archives on Google.

Here's the flyer:

Kinda pricey....I guess this would be considered "rare". Pretty cool
game.

For the asking price, I would at least expect to see pics of the sides
of the cabinet as well as one (at least) of the inside.

yeah, I think what $ is way out on line, these days. pics or no pics.
I would rather have a real defender for $400-500

but I would be interested in that cocktail version.


Troy,
