10 Awful Video Games Based On TV Shows

3. Knight Rider

Knight Rider It should not be hard to make a Knight Rider game a Hell of a lot of fun; we just need the Hoff and KITT chasing people down and blowing s*** up, right? Wrong, apparently, because this NES dud manages to take the very simple premise of the show and somehow completely balls it up. It looked immensely dated even when it came out, and somehow completely forgets the tone of the TV show; this game allows you to errantly drive around, blowing up innocents and turning them into husks of meat, and only punishes your final score for it. That's like a My Little Pony game having a mini-game where you take the injured steed out to the woodshed and give them both barrels at the end, right? You can jump over cars, which is cool, but this is a game that misunderstands the TV show at the most basic of levels.
