Recently started watching the old series on DVD again and it sparked up a quick play of the PC games. After my sessions I decided to see whether anything had changed...Apparently a small team is working on a new improved (and highly accurate) game!

Check it out:

The Story
Our story follows Michael Knight and KITT, the futuristic black t-top into their fifth year together solving life threatening missions to stop those who operate above the law. Michael however is just returning to duty from grieving for the loss of Stevie, his wife to be. Stevie was murdered in cold blood on the alter, but it seems there is more to the story then Michael was lead to believe.
Clues start stacking up, and notorious fugitives put away by FLAG have made a daring escape while being transferred to a maximum security prison. Before Michael and KITT even have a chance to catch their breath they discover even worse news as Drones begin attacking from every location, someone has put KARR back together, the Juggernaut is terrorizing military convoys and stealing nuclear weapons, and off in the distance the faint sound of a reborn Goliath roars to life! One thing is for sure, Michael and KITT are in for the adventure of their lives…
Knight Rider: The Fan Game continues the adventure of Michael, KITT, and the rest of the classic supporting cast from right where it left off in 1986. Be Michael Knight, Drive the car, and take on the classic mythology villains from the show! The game offers both a linear story line, and a sandbox mode that offers up more heart friendly moments from Knight Rider with awesome races, cool exciting puzzles that will require Michael and KITT to work together, save the damsel in distress, and collect hidden objects! Coming soon to a PC/MAC/Linux near you!

So will Kit come and pull my ass out of the oil lake in the nick of time? Or is it all driving awesomeness and ridiculousness?

No hints on the type of missions yet but from what I can gather is there will be switching from Michael Knight and KITT on the fly. It's been confirmed to support steering wheels and force feedback and will strike a physics model between arcade and simulation.

'Demo' is due Q4 this year.
 
Can't be any worse than the 2 efforts that came out around 10 years ago.

Well i spose if you want to take it way back... it realy was crushing if you parted cash money for the first knight rider game by ocean software, ofc that was me, heartbreaking:)

Maybe this one will show good and do us knight rider fans some much need justice in the video space.

We've been waiting nearly 30 years:o

That was me too! Although I never expected much from them I did get a decent playthrough or two. What annoyed most is they got a BRITISH access for KITT, not to mention they never used any series voice acting.

End of the day this will be free so no loss if it's not GOTY ;)

It's a real shame they moved the 'Cars of the Stars' museum to America last year, I'd loved to of seen the KITT car from the series they had. :(
