Night Stalker

Night Stalker

Night Stalker (released as "Dark Cavern" on the Atari 2600) is a top-down maze shooter developed by Steve Montero and released for the Intellivision console in 1982. Night Stalker was ported to the Atari 2600 as "Dark Cavern" and released under Mattel's M Network label. Versions for Apple II and IBM PC were released in 1983. In Night Stalker, robots, bats and spiders chase you through a maze. The gameplay is similar to that of the arcade smash Berzerk, but a bit slower. Players must pick up a weapon that is randomly placed in the maze. With the weapon, the player can fire a certain number of shots. When it is used up, the weapon is placed again in a random location in the maze.
