Created by Eugene Jarvis, Stargate is an arcade game released in 1981 by Williams Electronics. It is a sequel to the 1980 game Defender. 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. This sequel adds new enemy ships to the alien fleet such as firebombers, Yllabian Space Guppies, Dynamos and Space Hums. The Defender ship is now equipped with an Inviso cloaking device. A Stargate will transport the ship to any humanoid in trouble. There are now two special stages, the Firebomber Showdown and the Yllabian Dogfight, that occur every fifth and tenth wave. The game is much harder than its predecessor, though world-class players such as Wes Simonds, Bill Fye, and Charles Warrell are all known to have scored over five million under strictly-controlled tournament conditions. As in the first game, if all the humans are captured the planet explodes and turns all the landers into mutants. A Stargate machine appeared in an episode of the TV comedy series NewsRadio, in which it was referred to as "Stargate Defender". Eugene Jarvis had a role on the episode as "Delivery Guy #3"
