Night Stalker (video Game) - The Robots

The Robots

The Robots are the main antagonists of the game. There are five different robots, each one increasingly more difficult to destroy and avoid.

Grey Robot The first robot enemy you face, the Grey Robot lacks in intelligence and durability, requiring only one shot to destroy. It makes very little effort to track the player. It will fire at the player if it sees him in plain sight, but spends most of its time wandering the maze and firing randomly. Destroying a Grey Robot is worth 300 points. After the player reaches 5,000 points and either of the two Bats are destroyed, they will be replaced by Grey Robots for the remainder of the game.

Blue Robot Appears after the player reaches 5,000 points. The Blue Robot is smarter than the Grey Robot, and makes a determined effort to track the player through the maze, though this behavior makes it vulnerable to ambush as it is no more durable than the Grey Robot. Blue Robots are worth 500 points per kill, and will be supplemented by Grey Robots as the Bats fall.

White Robot Appears after the player reaches 15,000 points. The White Robot behaves almost identically to the Blue Robot, but is considerably more threatening due to its shield. The player must score three hits on the White Robot in order to destroy it, forcing the player to quickly adopt new strategies and secure replacement ammunition. The player receives 1,000 points for felling a White Robot.

Black Robot There are actually two versions of the Black Robot. The first appears when the player reaches 30,000 points. It has all of the behavior characteristics and shielding of the White Robot, with the added advantage of firing a new type of bullet. This bullet is larger than the standard, and has the ability to absorb player fire, making direct assaults all but useless. Upon reaching 50,000 points, the Black Robot's firepower becomes even stronger, and it can destroy the player's bunker. Both versions of the Black Robot are worth 2,000 points per kill.

Invisible Robot The last and most difficult adversary, the Invisible Robot appears at 80,000 points. In addition to having all of the Black Robot's powers and advanced weaponry, the Invisible Robot sports a cloaking device that renders it completely impossible to see. The only methods of pinning the robot's location are drawing its fire and noting the point of origin, noticing the shadow of other adversaries that pass through it, and by the brief periods of time that it glows after being struck by the player's shot. Destroying an Invisible Robot nets the player 4,000 points. They will continue to appear for the remainder of the game.
