How would we enhance Defender?

Defender is one of the greatest video games of all-time, but it was made almost 40 years ago. How could we advance the gameplay?

For starters, I am intrigued by humans getting "beamed up" to a flying saucer. I believe in Defender the saucer flies down and picks the humanoids up. What if we had saucers that sent a yellow beam down and the humanoids traveled up through that beam? I think that would be a creepy visual and make the saucers more dangerous because they would greater range.

What if there was a monster along the ground of the planet that this game takes place on? Some creepy crawler thing that hunts the humanoids? It's tricky because I think you can shoot humanoids in both Defender and Stargate and we don't want to accidentally shoot them trying to get some horrible creature attacking them.

We love the radar. Everyone likes the radar. I think the game has to still take place at night? I don't see a bright blue sky helping.

And -imagineer with me for a moment, please- could we not give the game two twin, glowbrite penises?
