To help you get through your mission, you get a detailed schematic of the fuel, shield and weapon systems. After receiving an assignment the player then meets with Bonnie, KITT's mechanic. A nicely detailed picture of Devon is displayed above a map of the United States and southern Canada while he gives you your assignment. Knight Rider, the NES game, is very much like the TV series, with Michael on a cross-country mission to eliminate the criminals infesting each city. His assignments came from Devon, Michael's mentor and sponsor in the 'Knight Foundation', and with the help of KITT's Bond-like gadgetry, Knight always captured the bad guys. The Knight Rider series revolved around the crime-fighting Michael Knight and his highly technical car named KITT, a turbo-charged, computer-controlled, talking Trans Am.
The show has been out of production for some time - though it still runs on some stations in syndication - and many younger NES game fans may not be familiar with the name. Knight Rider is an arcade-style driving and shooting game based on the hit TV series of the same name.
