Night Stalker was also released on the Atari 2600 under the name Dark Cavern. In order to compensate for lower-resolution graphics, Dark Cavern featured faster game play and the ability to carry more bullets. While it still had robots and spiders, the bats were replaced with blobs, which would take away your bullets if it attacked. The game was later ported to the Apple II in 1983.
The Intellivision version of Night Stalker was made available on Microsoft's Game Room service for its Xbox 360 console and for Windows-based PCs in May 2010.
The Intellivision version will be made available for the PlayStation 3 through PlayStation Home in fall 2012 in a collection titled Intellivision Gen2. In addition to still being filled with bats and spiders, it now has a greater variety of killer robots, each more challenging to confront, along with a variety of maze structures.

“It is true, we are such poor navigators that our thoughts, for the most part, stand off and on upon a harborless coast, are conversant only with the bights of the bays of poesy, or steer for the public ports of entry, and go into the dry docks of science, where they merely refit for this world, and no natural currents concur to individualize them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
