Knight Rider

Knight Rider is a 1986 video game based on the series of the same name. It was developed and published by Ocean Software, and was released in Europe for Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, and ZX Spectrum. By April 1985, Ocean Software was planning to create a game based on the television series, with a release scheduled for later in the year. The game was delayed several times and was advertised for more than a year before its eventual release in 1986. Knight Rider was considered a disappointment, and was criticized for its graphics and gameplay. Gameplay Knight Rider is based on the series of the same name. Michael Knight and KITT learn about a terrorist plot intended to trigger World War III. The player is given a map of the United States and must choose one of several cities. Most of the game consists of driving levels in which the player travels to the selected city while avoiding enemy fire from oncoming helicopters. During a driving level, the player is given a first-person view in the driver's seat. The player can choose to play as either Knight or KITT. As Knight, the player must fire back at the helicopters, while KITT drives and avoids the enemy fire. Playing as KITT, the player can reach up to 240 miles per hour, which is faster than if KITT drives himself. After each driving level, the player enters an operations building with a floorplan that is viewed from an overhead perspective. Playing as Knight, the player must navigate the building while avoiding guards who patrol certain areas. At the end of each level, the player finds a clue relating to the terrorist plot. The player then selects another city and repeats the process.
