Description from the packaging.

The Planet's fate is in your hands.

The thrill of the arcade game.
Landers, Bombers, Baiters, Pods, and Swarmers. The alien attack has come, and defeat at the hands of crazed invaders threatens the humanoids. Their only hope is the spaceship, Defender. Armed with smart bombs and able to shift into hyperspace, Defender evens the score only to become the object of another foul attack; kidnapped humanoids transformed into killer mutants!

The world's most popular video games can be yours to play at home, now that Atari makes them for the IBM PC. And the possibilities don't stop there. More compatible software will be available soon from Atarisoft, including educational, management and productivity programs.

Atari currently offers the following games on IBM PC computers: Pac-Man, Centipede, Defender, Dig Dug, Donkey Kong, Stargate and Robotron: 2084. And there's much more to come!
