DEVELOPMENT HISTORY

Dark Cavern is the Atari 2600 version of the Intellivision Night Stalker cartridge. A PAL version was also produced by APh for international release

BUG: The instructions state that the two-headed robot will appear when the score reaches 20,000 points. This actually happens after 16 robots are destroyed regardless of the score.
