I've seen many people have sucess at moie names knowing only a fdistant memories. Im hoping you can help me with an old video arcade game.
This was after pong but just before/during space invaders if I remember correctly. It was a game similar in graphics to asteroids that had two spaceships defending a group of ten or so fuel containers. The game lasted as long as you were able to keep wave after wave of enemy ships from stealing all the containers. My brother and I loved this game with one of us camping our ship near the containers and shooting the approaching ships as the other would fly after the theives and shoot them which forced the containers to be dropped.
The graphics were very old school. All black background with the two ships shaped somewhat like straightlined boomerangs.
Thanks for the help!

Not defender. There was no color and entire battle took place on one screen. You had two ships trying to defend a number of energy pods.

I used to know kids that could help you with these old vintage video games. But today, they are all middle-aged grouches.
To: Defiant

OK I know exactly the one you are referring to. Two players could play and they were defending rectangles gathered at the center. If you could shoot the invading ships you kept the rectangles. Anticipating the invaders was key - you had to shoot first and then move into position to better guard those boxes. Great game - I am looking but cannot find an image of the screen

It was a raster game, if I remember correctly.
I know the one you're referring to.
Probably Atari.
