I'm trying to figure out whether I played Night Stalker on Atari or Intellivision or something else. I don't remember much and I have some definite but seemingly contradicting clues. I have a partial in-game sound clip so I hope it qualifies for the game-identification tag, even if we're in fact trying to identify a console.
I lived (and still do) in Paris, France, if that helps in any way.
My mother said she would place seeing me play this when I was about 2 and 1/2 years old, which would mean early 1987. But this could be a little off, obviously.
I 100% remember a small paper/laminated/something card that looked like this one. I know this one says Mattel thus Intellivision, but maybe the Atari 2600 or another version could have had similar overlays ?
My father flat-out knew the name of the game was Night Stalker, if that helps in any way.
Yesterday my mother clearly recognized the regular, deep, ominous beat sound that can be heard at the start of this video (once again this is the Intellivision version). This is also a 100% tell : she couldn't have faked that vivid memory. So the version I'm looking for had to have such a beat at least somewhere.
On the other hand, the "Intellivision" name did not seem to ring a bell with my parents, but they did remember Atari.
My father described the console with words like "gold borders" but couldn't remember much else.
So, did it absolutely have to be Intellivision ? Or could it have been another console from that era ?
