Night Stalker

[Captain_Combat]

Playing e.t. On the dark night console on the kiosk. Opened night stalker with all the contents in the box. Tried playing but the cartridge doesn’t seat/fit properly in the dark night. Maybe I’ll have to try a 2600 junior?

 

Oh and e.t. was not the worse game Howard your off the hook.

My Telegames PAL Night Stalker was also a pain to put into my Vader as well, from memory.  Maybe a slightly thicker cart tongue, or more likely the tongue edge not tappered enough to push open the cart slot dust protector.  I just turned the Vader upside down, which usually has the dust protector open up, because of wear to the dust mechanism after all these years.  A bit of a gentle wriggle and it went in.  FYI.  Same fix for carts with broken dust protector activation legs.

 

#EDIT#  Actually.  I'm wrong.  I remember the carts dust protector activation legs were the exact same length as the cart tongue.  The tongue should be recessed back further (like in other carts), to allow the activation legs to open the dust protector BEFORE the tongue enters the cart slot.  That's why I turned the Vader upside down, eliminating the use of the activation legs.

Thanks springy, I tried turning it upside down but still didn’t work. I did however get it to work on the junior. Here’s a screenshot

Yep, that´s the PAL version.

Thanks for sharing!

Would Telegames UK nowadays have the same artwork/cart design/etc. as that older issue? Because PAL or not, I'm kinda intrigued at the prospect of owning this 2600 game with the Intellivision name and cover art.
