Stargate (video game)
''Stargate'' is an arcade game released in 1981 by Williams Electronics. Created by Eugene Jarvis, it is a sequel to the 1980 game ''Defender'', and was the first of only three productions from Vid Kidz, an independent development house formed by Jarvis and Larry DeMar. This video game has no connection to the subsequent ''Stargate'' franchise that began 13 years later.
== Legal issues ==
The game is also known as ''Defender Stargate'' and ''Defender II''. The latter name was used in home video game releases, due to legal issues (according to the bonus material for ''Midway Arcade Treasures'', Williams wanted to "make sure they could own the trademark" on the ''Defender'' name). The name ''Defender II'' has been used on all of its home ports, and game compilation appearances; however, there were never any ''Defender II'' arcade units. To complicate matters, the Atari 2600 port was originally sold under the ''Stargate'' moniker but was renamed to ''Defender II'' for a later re-release.〔(''Defender II'' (Atari) ) from AtariAge.com〕
This sequel adds new enemy ships to the alien fleet such as firebombers, Yllabian Space Guppies (note that Yllabian is based on "Yllab", the word "Bally" spelled backwards, a friendly poke at Williams' then-competitor, Bally Midway), Dynamos and Space Hums. The Defender ship is now equipped with an Inviso cloaking device, which renders the ship invulnerable when activated, but has a limited charge. A Stargate will transport the ship to any humanoid in trouble. There are now two special stages, the Yllabian Dogfight, first appearing at wave 5 and recurring every 10 waves thereafter, and the Firebomber Showdown, first appearing at wave 10 and also recurring every 10 waves thereafter. As in the first game, if all the humans are captured the planet explodes and turns all the landers into mutants.
The game is much harder than its predecessor.
