I had to put this one out into circulation. You should know that Tim narrowly avoided “Secret Agent Barbie” and “Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Botton” in a last minute discovery on the used games rack at EB. What Tim isn’t showing is the deal maker: on the fold out cover there’s a picture of “virtual Micheal Knight” and on the opposite cover is “virtual Garth Knight”, Micheal’s evil twin who is distinguishable only by his goatee. That’s right: he’s got a goatee, which everyone knows is universal sign language for “I am someone’s evil twin.” Also, the fact that the game invited me to “dust off my leather jacket and 80’s synth pop” is beyond any reasonable Satan’s will to resist.

After considering games insulting to Tim’s age, gender, and sexual orientation I decided to go with this gem for one reason. This is the kind of 80’s kitsch pop that Gen-X’ers go crazy for, and that makes me extremely suspicious. I felt like the only redeeming feature of this game will be virtual Garth Knight and his evil goatee. I pray to evil powers that this will be true.

I did notice Micheal Knight’s evil twin. My camera couldn’t focus small enough to show the picture though. I was wondering if David Hasselholf actually played Garth on the show using 80’s split screen technology. I wonder if Garth drives KARR, the original KITT that “due to a programming glitch that caused it to destroy instead of protect” became an evil car.

This will bring back memories for sure. I used to record Knight Rider episodes on CASSETTE and listen to it at church.

Allow me to refer you to knightrideronline:

[4-1] Garthe and Goliath
————————
Michael Knight’s newly created face was not the result of a random choice or accident. It was a replica of the face of Garthe Knight, Wilton Knight’s son, whom both Wilton and Devon thought had been permanently put away in a remote prison in Africa. After many years in captivity, Garthe managed to escape, return to the United States, and, with the help of Wilton’s ex-wife, build a huge truck utilizing the same molecular bonded shell used by KITT. Garthe named this truck “Goliath”, and resolved to use it to destroy Michael Knight, which Garthe views as an insult to his very existence. Michael and KITT are forced to battle this behemoth in attempt to destroy Garthe’s evil plans.

I should warn you that I just found a synopsis of the game at knightrideronline.com, so you should avoid it until you’ve fed bomb to the game.
