Night Stalker For The Intellivision

In this video I demonstrate the 1982 Mattel game Night Stalker. It is not about how high my score was and it is not a speed run. It is just a video of me playing one of the greatest games of all time. I also show my strategy for getting further in the game. I hope you enjoy watching this as much as I enjoy playing it. INTELLIVISION LIVES!

[@ImTheKingOfHyrule]

I so remember this game, it was totally bad ass. It was one of the first video games I ever owned. I wish I could play it right about now...

[@toniomiklo2406]

I used to love this game. Kind of creepy but it used to fascinate me as a child.

[@DJRitty]

Same here.

[@ingolds420]

Same

[@quasar4601]

Was there not an invisible robot or something. I played it to and I was so young that it brings back ok memories

[@lawrencescott2647]

I know I'm old haven't said that if a kid saw me playing this game nowadays he would say where were u born the dinosaur ages🦖

[@jakep8484]

I never found it creepy, was one of my favs on the system though

[@akapantsusenpai181]

This used to be one of my favorite games for the Intellivision. I still remember the heart beat and robot lasers bouncing off walls.

[@duberdurm]

Oh man, I used to watch my dad play this with I was 6 or 7 and would laugh the whole time, especially when he'd get to the boss that ate your house (base). We had nicknames for every monster after the first one (Sneakers, Fatso, Smokey, and Invisible Smokey). I didn't appreciate his skill until I found the old system and tried playing it as an adult. Shit was hard. He could get to the invisible monster that ate your house (lmao) but I could never get past the white guy. Thx for upping this!

[@TrojanThugMusic]

Takes me back to when life seemed so simple

[@zalden2565]

So many versions of this game, but the ambient “music” and sound effects by far make this the best one

[@richtarget1127]

How do you get the other versions?

[@zalden2565]

@@richtarget1127 it was released for Atari 2600 as Dark Cavern as well as a few computers of the time like Apple II

[@JutifiedGamma]

My dad was a beast at this game. He had his strategy down to a tee. Ahhh, such memories.

[@janicesmyth2183]

My kids loved this game! Oh how they would play for hours and hours!

[@OttawaRocks]

Loved this game and still have this game and my old intellivision console. Of course, will need to find another old tv set if I want to bring this back to life in my home.

[@ronnierebhan229]

Ill buy it from you! 😊

[@casyle7080]

Aww, I wanted to see the black robot again! I LOVED this game and played it to death before the NES came out. Even somehow managed to reach the invisible robot when I was the spritley old age of 4.

[@Zickcermacity]

Sin - are we related?! Your beginning strategy is exactly like mine! Stake out the bottom hallway and knock off the "cheap suitcase" robots with the first two rounds. Then start working the maze when the smarter edition deploys, all the while ducking and doging demented spiders and bats. The best strategy game of its era!!!!

[@movieapple]

Great viewing! Lots of good memories, I fought that black robot a few times, I remember the terror! And the invisible robot I only fought once and that was crazy. Awesome game, gotta play it like a cross between a ninja and a footballer - crafty stealthy shots from a distance, and lost of faking to the left and the right (with a bit of Dirty Harry... "Have I shot five bullets...??" Thanks for posting this!

[@Redhawk03a]

The bassline adds a super creepy vibe. Played this game a lot!

[@d.vaughn8990]

Ten years ago, a coworker gave me his childhood Intellivision and games. Night Stalker was included. I had an Atari as a kid - I always wanted to play this game! It looked so cool! I was not disappointed!!

[@trevorwhittemore8036]

Loved this one and Advanced Dungeons & Dragon’s as a kid!

[@vosnumber1]

omg loved this game!! usually only made it to the white robot. never got to the invisible robot boss.

[@sisophous]

I loved this game, I remember it well after all these years.

[@quasar4601]

So do I !! I was like 6

[@Pervypriest]

Truly a great game, I used to play this all day long. I got all the way until the last robot , which where invisible.. Hmm I have an intellivision lying in my basement. Wonder if it still works. Night stalker and Astrosmash along with sub hunt where among my fav intellivision games.. A really cool system and I have a lot of found memories from playing on it.. Thanks for posting this vid:)

[@markshelby7183]

I remember playing this game. I bought the Intellivision game console in 1982 along with Sea Battle, Night Stalker, and Triple Action. My favorite was Sea Battle, followed closely by the biplane fighting in Triple action. There were competitions held where I'm from and I won both of those. I wish there still could be a way to hold competitions for some of those old game's, like many that post on here, I know we all think we're the best, lol.

[@prausch65]

This game rocks..so simple yet so fun!

[@Rahlistic]

I was the master at this game too. I used to kick the invisible robots' ass.

[@brookesmith1352]

I was a champ at this game! Probably my favorite Intellivision game.

[@juanelorriaga2840]

This brings back memories watching my older brother and friends play this and waiting for my chance to play and getting massacred I think this was around 1982 or 1983 not sure was only 7 yrs old such good times thrn

[@scitsalcoryp]

OhMAN what memories . Used to trip for days and play this !!!! Thankxxx

[@michaelharper7237]

This used to always make my little brother cry

[@nateword]

i LOVED this game,that robby the robot looking thing aggravated the hell outta me

[@ronnierebhan229]

My favorite game of all time!❤

[@jtBrander]

intellivision was great, thanks for the blast from the past!

[@mosshivenetwork117]

I remember this game as a kid. I did not know how to play but I still liked it.

[@SegaSaturnGamer48]

This looks awesome in my opinion. :)

[@Darkschool6]

Wow! Childhood memories baby!

[@1destinyslegacy]

Oldie but goodie...ahhh the memories...

[@XV250]

I was just playing this last night for about half an hour. Great game!

[@SeanCwilich]

I liked that game. I liked how you shot the robot in the corner, I often did that myself. It was funny. I usually shot everything that I can. Good memories. :)

[@willeewilliams]

The invisible and black robots had me on edge

[@Borodino1812god]

You could really spawn kill in this game. We didn't even have a word for it back then.

[@DeckthaHalls]

The synth music takes me back. Reminds me a bit of The Thing.

[@dominickmasonry3878]

I loved this game, and I still believe I was the absolute best on the planet.

[@sinistermoon]

You might be! Could be worth practicing and seeing where you stand!

[@ubiased23]

I have seen this game on mattel Aquarius and I like that version as well. Thank you for sharing this video with us. I am curious of what is the difference between colecovision and intellivision? And which one is better? Thanks

[@WAYINSANEDRAKE]

I Have This In My Collection, Its Loads Of Fun!

[@alexpalko2247]

Classic good Intelivison game

[@Ixionos]

I remember how I spent a whole weekend playing this game as a kid (I was not allowed to play on school days). This and Treasure of Tarmin were my favorites.

[@Hard11Bravo]

Remember my brother in law buying this,me and my girlfriend (now wife) use to play it in 1982.we were 19 and 18

[@SomeoneSmarter]

I bet the COD generation didn't realise that us oldies invented spawn trapping. Poor robot.

[@Jaybiooh]

Haha thought the same, but interestingly enough it doesn't seem to overpowered and still requires skill.

[@xdolci]

I finished this game, was playing it with my father, each one had a pad in the hand, one was moving, the other the shooting lot of fun, specially with invisible mobs :)

[@ELNIEVLA]

thanks to this vid I just remembered one bad dream caused from this game music when I was a kid :DDDD lovely '80s

[@larryque8391]

One of the best dog and cat during that time in the early 80s ...my favorite

[@DJRitty]

I forgot about this...so many games dad I played on this system. This, Snafu, Burger Time and Lock N Chase. Just found this after all these years and I wanna be like dad remember this? and can't. I haven't seen this game or thought about since mid 80's...wow.

[@ZBlacktt]

If you notice. Some of these same sounds were used in other games for the Intellivision. Like the game Utopia/ When you pick up the gun in this game. It's the same sound as fishing in the boats in Utopia. Shoot a robot and he blows up. Same sound in Astrosmash when you get hit. I had all these games and still own an Intellivision to this day, lol.

[@justinkashtock333]

This was my favorite game on the Intellivision. I still have it, though I haven't hooked it up in decades so I have no clue if it still works.

[@artisanrox]

Never played this particular game for Intellivision but had the system.....directional disk + keypad...good times!!

[@astrosteve]

I used to play this game all the time in the mid eighties. I loved it. I never was able to get too far in it, though. The game is still fun today, though.

[@YesYou123333]

I love the sound when you try to shoot the gun when your gun is empty @1:51. It sounds like the sound they play when you get the answer wrong on Family Feud. I used to play this game all the time. I remember the level where there was an invisible robot who chased you. He only lit up if you hit him with a bullet.

[@leonardwhite7838]

My second favorite game after Space Spartans. I think my high score was over 500, 000.

[@sizzlechestmcmurphy4365]

This is one of the first video games I ever played... Top notch!

[@CaptAwesumNo1Zone]

Me too, we were lucky!!

[@quasar4601]

Same here but not my fav

[@starchboy71]

0:49-0:52 I always got a kick out of the robot firing away so fast in the spider's web LOL

[@NAprincess324]

Wow! I remember this game. I had a Mattel Intellivision console. Most of my friends had Atari and later on Colecovision. I remember buying an Intellivision disc that had 30 of their games for my daughters Sony Play Station. Baseball, Tank Battle, Boxing. Anyone know if this is still available for xbox?

[@CaptAwesumNo1Zone]

Yes it is look for Xbox live arcade and build your own arcade I have Night Stalker, Buzz Bomber was another favorite!!

[@Smartguy561]

Yes. I had this same system, as Well as the Atari 2600. I owned both systems, and had more than 20 games for each of them. The Intellivision was a much better system than the Atari 2600. Space Armada was better than Space invaders, with better graphics and a more to the game. Pitfall and Frogger were also better on the Intellivision, Night Stalker was much better than Dark Caverns, and Atari`s Burgertime didn't even come close to Intellivision original. The Intellivision system was the best system you could buy until the the NES came out. The only thing I liked better about Atari was the controllers.

[@SBMPLYMA]

YEEEEEEEEEH BOY!!

[@proapocalypse1448]

I don't think I got past the robot that destroys your bunker. This game was hard when I was a kid. I should try again some day.

[@sinistermoon]

Yes I do. It was always one of my favorite games. I like the Intellivision port the best. The Atari version looked no were near as good. And the acrade version had smoother graphics but it just did not appeal to me like the Intellivision version of Burger Time. Thank you for your comment.

[@sinistermoon]

This was done a long time ago when I only knew how to screen cap emulators. I haven't done that in a long time now. I only record actual hardware/software now. I have a whole video on how to do that in my videos. And there is also more Intellivision greatness in there.

[@tedunguent156]

Oh, one of my favorites. I played this a lot. Bloing-oing-oing-oing when you get killed. LOL The invisible robot made it impossible to beat. For me anyway.

[@DVDfeverGames]

LOL, that baddie is toast! :D

[@PascalGameDev]

Red Ant Games will be making Subject 33 for mobiles and the OUYA that was directly inspired by this game. We hope to release it sometime this year.

[@dloren6183]

Hamburger time!

[@BrianCRX90]

This was one of if not my favorite Intellivision game made

[@hrburrell7587]

This was a fun game, I Found myself screaming at the screen when he would get shot. The black robot that comes after the white one was cool.

[@MrFennmeista]

I did get to.the black robot 🤖 a few times but I was very rare. Jeebus that was 35 years ago

[@FridayNightLady]

Good game!

[@ken7531077]

This game is nostalgic.

[@VideyoJunkei]

I usually died pretty quick when the black one came out...I tried my best to NOT hit the 2 bats, since that adds 2 more robots! I too, used the "shoot in the corner" trick, loved getting all 3 with 1 shot!

[@gillyssquashball]

I can't recall the names of the robots. As for my HS, all I can remember is facing phon hue in the 1983 final. That was the day I defended my title, great memories.

[@sinistermoon]

That is awesome. Do you recall what your high score was? And also what robots come after the invisible ones?

[@Zickcermacity]

Classic Intellivision sounds that ALL modern consoles SHOULD use: #1. The "razz"(when you press the wrong key) #2. Whatever that sound is when your agent gets shot in Nightstalker! =)

[@sinistermoon]

Yea at the end of the video I was basicly throwing away my lives out of fear of making the video over 10 min. My best score on Night Stalker is up in the 400K range. A game that long usally takes like an hour or so. Thank you for the comment.

[@HellenicWarrior10]

nice video....i'm playing this game on the Bliss Emulator, but it's not running as fast as you. Bliss also doesn't have any option other than mapping the controller. but i like the ability to use the right analogue stick to fire in the direction i want....my high score right now is at 80,600 the "invisible robot" kicked my butt.

[@nateword]

@ChrisJ092 .yeah that's what i meant,on another show the same robot from lost in space was called rob the robot

[@kaval187]

Used to play this for the jump scares

[@mathhousegiant2055]

One of the best Intellivision game.....

[@Sinistar24]

That background sound reminds me of something from a john carpenter movie for some reason

[@goatintuxedo2206]

*BEST SOUNDTRACK IN VIDEOGAME HISTORY*

[@patrickmccutcheon8860]

Awesome OST..

[@davidmreyes77]

I played this as a kid in the mid 80s during the height of the real Night Stalker killings in Los Angeles. So it was weird and creepy.

[@youserguide]

I remember that! I was living in the Valley then. I thought the same thing, and it creeped me out a bit. After all these decades, these sound effects are Still unmistakable!

[@oddfellowfloyd]

Could you make an mp3 of the awesome one-note soundtrack?? :D

[@bloodfurypk666]

one of my best game on the Intellivision 2 :)

[@sinistermoon]

@darthvadr2341 Well, there is of course the official Intellivision emulators like Intellivision Lives! for PC and many different consoles that I would trust more than any of them. However, those will cost you. The emulator used in the video is called Bliss and I find it to be excellent.

[@rstallworthii9830]

I remember back in the day playing this game when i was kid, kickin-ass i made it all the way up to the invisible robot 80,000 points i best recall. and that's when things started getting freaky! haha good times!!

[@Saibotz1]

I had a high score over 100 000 😎

[@landsurfer66]

Run Kolchak, run!

[@jdgreger]

i used to play this game and my mom thought I was playing a game based on richard ramirez....lol

[@losnupo2894]

This was my 1st game on my 1st console (Pong doesnt count :) )

[@willeewilliams]

I remember when the bat would bite you at almost the same time the robot would shoot and you would duck the bullet lol😅😅

[@Hypestyle]

there should be a modern version of this for the contemporary consoles, survivor action game where you have to fight off robots, robot bats and other cyber-creatures..

[@sinistermoon]

Haha well as my first act of King of Night Stalker.... Yeah seems silly to debate a topic like this. I think the important thing is how Night Stalker kicks ass. And I would also like to say DAM THOSE INVISIBLE ROBOTS!

[@maskedmosher]

dint saga make a newr verson of this with dana plato that got banned?

[@gtmodelt]

That is why it is so good. Easy has become to common in some of todays games

[@198020203797]

Beauty sight very Dark.

[@magneto8002]

I had this game.

[@ChrisJ092]

@nateword I thought it resembled the robot from "Lost In Space".

[@gillyssquashball]

I'm not sure, we used whatever system that had at the auditorium. They had quite a few set up. I met the U.S Champion, I challenged him to a match but he said no. They spent ages trying to establish a world chamion but I think they only did that for certain games whcih I didn't play at the time.

[@Hypestyle]

There needs to be an all new version of this game updated for current systems, ps3, xbox 360, facing off against robot stalkers, robot spiders, robot bats, etc., limited ammunition, must scavenge for guns, etc.
