Knight Rider is based on the popular television show of the same name. Michael Knight, accompanied by his advanced talking car K.I.T.T , receives a new mission from Devon. A U.S. military site has been breached and the P.I.V. bomb stolen by terrorists. To track down the thieves, KITT and Michael must navigate across the United States at high speed.
The gameplay of Knight Rider revolves around racing against time to reach destinations. With KITT's advanced capabilities, including a gun, missiles, laser, and jumping ability, players can overcome obstacles and evade enemies. However, KITT has limited health due to its internal shielding, which absorbs damage before depleting and causing a loss of life.
