The player tries to decimate the endless phalanxes of "computer viruses" before they can infect the system he's defending. The game never ends- the goal is to get the highest score possible. Chaos Defender was created in January - March 2002 as a senior project for J.L. Mann Academy, Greg's high school. Release 1.0 was the version finished in that time. The main elements of the game are complete and functional, but due to time constraints, some elements were left out. These included a power up system, sound effects, and extra ships. In addition, the game had a compatibility issue with certain computers (especially Dells). Release 1.1 addresses all of these lingering issues: it is Chaos Defender as it was meant to be played. Power ups, extra ships, sound effects, new graphics, and a little more polish all around were added. Most importantly, the game now works (to our knowledge) on all systems without error. We hope you enjoy the game! ## Contact Having a problem with the game, or just want to make a comment? We'd love to hear any and all feedback.
