Knight Rider Special is a high-speed racing game with combat elements, featuring Michael Knight and his AI-powered car, KITT, from the classic 1980s TV series Knight Rider. The game was released solely in Japan for the PC Engine in 1989. It captures the essence of the show, where Michael Knight uses the advanced Knight Industries Two Thousand to pursue criminals. The game includes the iconic theme music from the series and features the Japanese voice actor who portrayed KITT, providing some in-game sound effects. In the game, players must race through each level, dodging other cars and using KITT’s turbo boost to gain speed. Once reaching the destination, players must confront the target criminal using KITT’s built-in weapons to complete the mission.
