Midway Sues Ericsson Over Defender 'Tribute'

An anonymous reader writes "Redkeyreddoor is relaying a story, via the Wall Street Journal, that Midway has sued Ericsson for distributing a completely unlicensed version of Defender on its T68 cellphone. The mobile game in question seems to be 'Game', which does bear a remarkable similarity to Defender (there's a screenshot at this Japanese cellphone review page). Ericsson has apparently removed 'Game' (and a version of Tetris, ingeniously called 'Tetris') from later versions of the T68."

Incoming message from Colonel Adams:
The Manti have somehow invaded cellular phones!
I just can't stand the idea of those cockroaches
controlling my air time. Your mission is to rescue
colonists that are using cellular phones before the
buggers get to em.

Adams out.
