Knight Rider is a 1986 video game based on the series of the same name. It was developed and published by Ocean Software, and was released in Europe for Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, and ZX Spectrum.[1][2][3][4]

By April 1985, Ocean Software was planning to create a game based on the television series, with a release scheduled for later in the year.[5] The game was delayed several times and was advertised for more than a year before its eventual release in 1986.[6][7][8][9][10] Knight Rider was considered a disappointment, and was criticized for its graphics and gameplay.
