Night Stalker

Recommended Posts

I did a little research and it looks like Night Stalker was originally released for the Intellivision. It was then ported to the Atari and renamed Dark Cavern from M Network. Based on the fact that the Atari 2600 Night Stalker was released from Telegames, I would guess that it is a renamed version of Dark Cavern that was released after M Network went under (post '83).

 

I am not an expert on these games, I merely offer my own conclusion based on the available information. Please correct me if I am wrong (but do it nicely ;) )

Game play is probably the same for the most part. Sometimes there are color differences with PAL versions. If you want to own every Atari 2600 game, you'll be looking for a few thousand carts if you want all titles and releases. AA has listed all the NTSC versions of games released for the 2600. Whether or not you collect a name change or a company change is up to you. Sears titles of Atari games have many of the same names. Some people consider these the same game, I personally consider it different since it is produced by another company. Collect what you like and what you can afford.

Using Atarimania is probably a good idea then. He links the other games that are remakes or copies of originals. Start with all the major companies and then work from there. I know it's been discussed many times as to how many "unique" titles there are, but I can't remember off hand. I think it was somewhere between 500-600, but if anyone has an exact figure, feel free to post it.

I would also like to know how many unique titles there are. Wonder if someone has a list?

I realize that this topic is very old but I do own a NTSC version of Night Stalker complete in box...  It was originally owned by JerryG and I have owned it since he sold off his collection years ago.  It's the only version like this that I've seen but I am certain some others do own it.  I am not interested in selling, just wanted people to realize that it does exist.

Captain Combat, do you know if yours is NTSC?

I’m not sure but I do know mine was purchased new sealed from telegames Texas. I don’t think quality control was their strong point.

 

I have never opened the box, however I may do that since breaking the seal to save the box. Has this title ever been found in ntsc? This must of had a super limited release because of the crash? In 10 years I have never seen this box listed on eBay in the States. I’m assuming this box is super rare in Europe also? Lots of ?????
