Knight Guy in Low Res World (Atari VCS)

by "vhzc"

Sadly not a decent sequel to erase the memory of Knight Rider the video game. Instead, as Knight Guy, you must progress through a number of flick screens solving a puzzle to exit each. You can move left, right and jump, up on the joystick, ugghh!! nightmare!, and press fire to use any objects you pick up along the way.

You start with five lives. If you touch a bad guy you lose a life but you don't return to the start of the screen so it's more like losing some energy. Unless of course you fall off the screen in which case you are returned to the start. There’s no KITT to save your skin in this game.

This is similar in many ways to 'Peril' but doesn't feel quite as polished. Plus flying around in a helicopter is miles better than having to walk. Jeez even a horse would have been helpful.
