 I've added a rare Acornsoft product leaflet which shows this game under its original "Defender" guise. As such, it must date to no later than 1982. The other games listed are Snapper, Monsters and Philosopher's Quest, Acornsoft's earliest games.

 One of several excellent early Acornsoft games which were somewhat naively issued under their original names (Defender in this case), then hastily withdrawn and reworked under alternative titles. The original implementations of Pac-man, Defender, Asteroids et al demonstrated the capabilities of the Beeb to great effect, at a very early stage in its development. Original copies of the withdrawn titles are now very hard to find.
