. The Future
Remember "Scramble" in the 80's?
We used to play a version on your ZX Spectrum called "Penetrator." Sounds a bit rude now, but it didn't then.
Well, there's a new game called "Pixeljunk Shooter" that you can download straight into your PS3. It's old-school style two-player side-scrolling fun for all the family. Might be something diverting to do in the dying hours of the Christmas hols to keep your mind off the fast approaching awfulness of Monday morning.
And it costs less than Penetrator did in 1982.
And you can play with a friend at the same time! But not online. So not with me.
So much for the future.

oh cool... didn't know this was out yet... i'm gonna have to get this and make kristie play with me
isn't that defender? (atari)
The pics I posted are Scramble, not Defender, but most games were the same in 1982, as they are today.
Now you mention it though, Defender did involve rescuing little guys, which is the point of Pixeljunkie Shooter. So maybe that's the better comparison.
I just don't remember playing much Defender.
