Apple Founder Could Kick Your Ass At Defender

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak isn’t just a rich, cuddly nerd. He’s also an avid gamer. Mostly card games, sure, but also Defender. Which he plays really well. Oh, and Tetris. Dude’s a Tetris purist.

Play Defender In The Weirdest Location

Using a rather clever browser hack, someone’s programmed a playable Defender clone into a favicon. If you don’t know what a favicon is, it’s that little 16 by 16 pixel graphic that appears in address bars and browser tabs. See that pink and chartreuse “K” up there? That’s what I’m talkin’ ’bout.

And if you don’t know what Defender is, it’s a classic sidescrolling arcade shooter released in 1980. Head on over to the Defender of the Favicon site to check it out. Won’t take but a minute and fellow web developer types might just get a kick out of it.
