Anarchy

Anarchy's title theme features what is nowadays known among Amiga sceners as "AwfulGuitarSample", a widely used sample of an electric guitar that you can hear in many Amiga music modules.

Very good defender clone and one of the first I had on Amiga, It shares the same strange/surreal early Psygnosis graphic style as let's say Obliterator, Killing Game Show, Menaces and the likes, the intro music has something that makes me to remember The Killing Game Show too

Okay title I suppose. The backgrounds are the most graphicaly impressive, and sometimes they are quite nice, but then the game resorts to recycling them for the last two levels for some reason.

The worst problem is that, yes, all the objects you have to shoot are rather small, some being just barely visible dots, and all the various bits that enemies explode into have the same colour as several enemy types, so things can get quite confusing. To top it all off, while the map shows enemy's aproaching your position, it doesn't show the altitude your ship is at, meaning that you mostly have to just guess at where to position yourself.

Defender gets the Psygnosis treatment. I like the Roger Dean-esque backgrounds, the multi-layered scrolling, the trance soundtrack… Anarchy is a very good Defender-clone but Datastorm is better

Famous for the impressive 50 herz on the st apart that nothing special just a defender clone. Technically i dont know how they achieved this on the st. Really good job that was never used again in other games.

I am not a fan o such games. It goes way below "Overkill" which is at top of my favourite's Defender clone list but still this is nice game which could have been even better if there were more than one life and maybe the objects were a bit larger (they are barely visible).

I noticed that the music sounds very much like the music from the Killing Game Show. And that's not all bad.

Not as good as Datastorm, but a good Defender clone in its own right, with pretty backdrops although less action and speed than Datastorm's code managed.
