Night Stalker Question

[Humblejack]

Anyone recognize the item in the top right of the maze?

I've played a bit of N.S. but have not been good enough to reach a very high score and know if the screen adds challenges I don't know about.

Thanks,

HJ

I think thats just a robot that was shot and is blowing up.

8k collapsing robot animation? ?

It's a simulated picture (as the image says), skewed to fit the television set's perspective.  It's taken straight from the catalog, and it seems to be one of those artist's renderings while the game is still in development.

 

From the catalog:

 

From the game:

 

That said, I guess that red squiggle on the top right is intended to represent a robot exploding, and the black dot next to it a piece of the robot flying out.

Thanks for the input to clear it up for me. It's so simple I guess I should just say "DUH"

The black dot in the upper right could also be the player's bullet. I think in Night Stalker your bullets would continue after getting a kill.

Yes thats the bullet, the bullet could take out anything in the corridor you shot it in.

It's a bat that's been shot.  A robot breaks in to pieces that go flying in different directions.

It's the second shooter at the grassy knoll ...

Originally that wandering spider was supposed to be able to drop little webs around the map, which would have been cool, imo.
