Night Stalker is a 1982 Atari 2600 shooter game that challenges players to survive waves of enemies in a maze-like environment. The main objective is to eliminate hostile robots and avoid being caught by the relentless stalkers while collecting keys to unlock doors and advance through increasingly difficult levels.
The pace of Night Stalker is intense and fast, requiring quick reflexes and strategic movement. Players navigate the maze from a top-down perspective, balancing offense and defense as threats appear from multiple directions. The game’s unique mechanic is the dynamic enemy AI that actively pursues the player, creating a tense atmosphere uncommon in early 1980s shooters.
What sets Night Stalker apart is its combination of maze exploration and shooter gameplay on the Atari 2600, along with the use of limited visibility inside the maze, which heightens suspense. This 1982 shooter remains a distinctive example of early arcade-style action on home consoles.
