JoeM_Intellivision Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Nice - yeah that sucks missing 100K by 200 points - wasn't there a bat you could have kicked:-) I'm sure you will be 1st to surpass 100K mark - Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Rick Reynolds Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Finally got my copy! This is a great game! Many cool improvements to the original - better running speed, better speed on the bullets, more mazes. I really like that the game throws random enemies at you so that it isn't the slow, plodding game that the original tends to be before you get to more challenging robots. I haven't broken 20K yet, so I won't be posting any scores until I get a little better at it! Definitely makes me want to hack two controllers into one so that the keypad is from controller two while the disc is from controller one...

+grips03 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 one of the nice things about this game is that the action buttons are used for shooting in 3 directions. Ms. NS can keep moving when using the 3 action buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Lathe26 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I got mine a few days ago and am enjoying it. The side buttons really improve the shooting a lot. The up/down shooting is a little trickier and I haven't mastered it yet, but i'm getting better. This game is a very nice improvement over the original version. I'm impressed, and that is saying something since I had high expecations on this one. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM_Intellivision Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Hi grips03, Just wanted to note one thing - action buttons can actually shoot in all 4 directions while moving with a quick keypad touch. Bottom left button always shoots left, Bottom right button always shoots right, the two top buttons will continue to shoot up if #1 on keypad is pressed (Also the default), but if you press #7 on the keypad, the # of bullets you have will display in red instead of black and you will be shooting down. This is in manual and I've tested with no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM_Intellivision Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Agree Lathe26, I've had a complete blast with this game - I still like the original Night Stalker, but this game is so much better and I love it. The increased speed, extra pink robot, extra depth/strategy crested by spider webs laid, faster bullets for both you & robots, variability of game play, much more accurate collision detection with the bats, allowing use of side buttons so you can run and shoot at same time, actually giving you a chance to get out of bunker and retrieve gun which is always there upon death so you don't have to lose like 4 or more guys for nothing like in original Night Stalker, 9 different levels which is basically 9 different games with different strategies all together, list goes on. This is a masterpiece and as you can see has my vote for game of the year with it's GREAT GAME PLAY & GREAT REPLAY VALUE!! I strongly recommend this game whether you were a fan of the Original Night Stalker or not! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeM_Intellivision Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I'm just using my Sears Video Arcade with normal controller/disc. - although my video output is very grainy so will need to address in future. I gotta try with your controller one day but don't want to dig out now as I don't mind disc. and want to keep protected from when kids visit.

I 'test' all the corners when setting up a shot, is that even possible with the disc, i.e. do you have enough time? Do you leverage the in game rapid fire on the big robots?

JoeM_Intellivision Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Thanks grips03. I use rapid fire when I can - of course only one bullet can be in air at a time. As far as testing corners, if I have enough time I will make sure that my guy is in correct position to not only take the shot I want, but then make the correct turn I want. If it's more hectic & I don't have time prepare this, I'll get my shot off but may sometimes make a mistake & turn into wall instead of maze by accident. It should be noted that another nice feature of game is that every 10,000 points the enemy robot bullets travel faster so you have much less time to outrun them and can get killed by quick fire if you are not careful. I really enjoy the game VERY MUCH and so happy it was released. How have you made out in other mazes? I haven't played them yet as I've been busy and want to improve my "Classic" score. Your 1st score on 2nd maze was pretty damn good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Got mine yesterday and just found some minutes to play it, but it feels much better than the original game did. Thanks for this nice collectors item (again perfect quality!) and the good game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetroAl Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) I recieved my copy on Friday . I have had about an hour to play it and it's great. I wish I would of had more time for it. I wa extremely rusty at the game but once I got going it was a blast. Thumbs up to the community and everyone who is still supporting the Intellivision. It's a great time to be a fan.

JoeM_Intellivision Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Nice score grips03 - I haven't had chance to play lately & having some issues with my system so 89,700 still my best for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-crew Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Reading all your reactions to this game. I cant wait until this game is offered again!!!!! Hopefully soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intvdave Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 102,300 The robots get kind of mad at 100K The robots bullets should be at full speed by 100k. You should be encountering the harder robots more often as your score goes higher. I do not see the GAME OVER text in your image. Were you in the middle of the game? The few remaining copies will become available hopefully sooner than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
