Knight Rider adapts the cult TV series on Acclaim NES with Michael Knight and KITT on patrol missions tracking criminals. The representation offers pseudo 3D behind vehicle view and indoor investigation phases in a cult TV license formula. Honest for NES license fans, curiosity of the 8 bit Acclaim catalog.

Collector interest

Japanese Famicom release of Knight Rider by Acclaim, distributed in 1988 in a market where a US TV licence stayed marginal. It is the rarest of the three territories, the Japanese audience being lukewarm toward Knight Rider, hence a small run and weak local demand. Famicom scarcity outweighs gameplay interest here, and complete copies with the Japanese sleeve form the real point of desirability for regional collectors.
