+Cafeman Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Not surprised the KR game didn't get completed. It was going to take too much Hard Work. Wow, its from 2003. Back when there were Kinko's stores (now Fed-Ex.. since 2004). I just re-read a few pages. HardWork's writing style is often funny to me. "There is a fragile, narrow vector of opportunity here", quoth the developer who spent many a sweet summer hacking Apple II Basic (with a slight flirtation with VB).... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omegamatrix Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 This thread needs more Shatner to make it work. Also, even though it's probably way too late in development... I'm going to suggest a ground up re-build with an all new Knight Rider vs Airwolf gameplay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Shat-roy copy.jpg Benny! Long time no see! This thread continues to be awesome after all these years. Hmmmm, I'm thinking maybe Rev should get this game made on the Inty in homage to the epicness of this thread. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Hey, everybody ... I've got some exciting news about what Team Savage has been up to! They're revising their marketing strategy, borrowing a few pages from the Retro VGS playbook. Knight Rider 2600 is now a Coleco branded game named "Grid Rethink" (an anagram of "Knight Rider"). It won't actually play on the ColecoVision, mind you, but they were able to get the Coleco license really cheap, and they feel that having an established brand on the product will make people forget their first attempt help to generate media interest. They've also acquired the original plastic injection molds that were used to create Knight Rider toy cars in the 1980s. Their new plan is to remake the game into a Plug-and-Play TV unit, with the game built right into the car! The new "retro-style" game is based on a customized version of "Tiny Knight", incorporating stunt driving, fisticuffs, and all the other elements that we remember so fondly from the original 2600 game. This means that they'll need to rewrite the whole game from scratch, but they're sure they'll have a working prototype ready in time for Toy Fair in February. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inky Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Seems to me that Grid Rethink would be a Tron sequel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Grid Rethink - You put the game in and fun comes out! "It's that simple !!!" Seems to me that Grid Rethink would be a Tron sequel. Actually, "Grid Rethink" will be a Tron sequel and a Knight Rider 2600 sequel! They plan to "legally extract all of the enjoyable bits" from both franchises and combine them into a new one! Oh, they'll be launching a Kickstarter campaign, too. The appearance of David Hasselhoff and William Shatner in the game will be two major stretch goals, along with a range of exclusive designer colors! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Stephen Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 You've all been doing it wrong. NEVER bump this thread not on the new year! I'm beginning to wonder what I will see first. My 7800XM, Knight Rider 2600, or Grid Rethink for the Chameleon. Genius idea that was. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
