Ah, the games that actually made it out the door for the IBM and Apple! Not many people saw those....and from what I read, the IBM versions wouldn't play at all on later generations of PC's. I imagine someone could crack them now, though.....

There's a lot more info about these releases, and what else was planned, here: http://www.intellivi...computers.shtml

What you are showing above are the games that actually got RELEASED. There was a LOT more planned.

What I'm curious about is, how rare are these five game? How often do they show up, and what is the price for a loose or CIB copy?

I just found that in a random search. Being the Burgertime fanatic that i am i'd love to own both of those. With or without a way to play them.

What do you know, i even left a comment on the Apple II Burgertime video over a year ago. I must of just forgotten all about it.

Here's the vids i could find.

The Apple II Burgertime has some interesting graphics but the enemy and character movements look funky.

And the IBM Burgertime may not look too good but the movement looks right. Some of the sound effects sound right. Levels look arcade perfect. They made that one right.

The Apple II Night Stalker looks nice too. The second robot that comes in at 5,000 points is awesome looking. Better looking than any of the Intellivision version robots.

That Night Stalker actually looks halfway decent.

Pretty interesting!!! I never knew there were versions for home computers...

IBM Burgertime can be downloaded from Home of the Underdogs (hotud.org) and be played using Dosbox.

I'm going to upload a video of it being played with Dosbox in CGA Composite mode. CGA composite mode is the best of the 3 graphics options available for the game. It's really impressive graphically for a 1982 PC game and a lot better than the other 2 graphics modes available for the game (CGA, RGB).

I haven't had any luck finding IBM Night Stalker for download anywhere on the internet. It must be ultra rare.

Thanks for posting that! I really wondered how that looked. Composite mode (artifact color) games were rare, because almost no one hooked their PC up to a TV or composite monitor (except PCjr users who had better graphics anyway). It really was an unappreciated capability of the machine.
