I spent my whole childhood trying to find someone who played Defender of the Crown and never found one :(

This is... strange? I wonder what the reason might be?

Anyways, you've found someone. Or at least someone who used to.

That makes a whole three of us. I played it on NES, and it wasn't until I was in my 20s I learned to it existed on other platforms too. My dad and I spent days on that game trying to figure out good strategies and how to beat it. Good memories.

Apparently Defender of the Crown will get a remaster next month:

I played it! Couldn't remember the name but it is the same game as linked to that I do remember.
