Re: Hot wheels Retro Entertainment Unreleased?
If Mattel / Hotwheels won't do it, maybe it's worth asking Greenlight Collectibles doing it instead? Greenlight has made MacGyver modelcars in 1/64 which was surprise to me. Not sure what other merchandise there is for MacGyver franchise? https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4296/35422108343_62c76acfb8_b....

Re: Airwolf and Street Hawk, revisited
Found Street Hawk toy motorbike from 1984 which I didn't even know it existed until now. Of course had to see how it looks like with 1/18 KITT. Seems the Street Hawk bike may be a bit bigger scale. Just for fun I placed small football model inside KITT's trunk to mimic S.I.D., must be tough case :P ...

Re: knight rider slammy sammy episode tv spot error
I wonder if they had any idea that Knight Rider will be a cult classic TV-show which fans will talk about and analyze to the last detail even 35 years later, would they done things differently and perhaps put better attention to details, continuity, etc. ?

Re: 1980's music thread :)
Here's one from Kitaro, famous from epic 80's tv-series "Silk Road" theme. Here's their song "Mandala" from 1981, doesn't it have sort of Knight Rider vibe from Soul Survivor, the "hypnotic" music ;) First it lures you relaxing with the beautiful intro, then suddenly st...

Let's try listing here great 80's music, pophits, synth wave, rock, whatever you like. Doesn't matter if it was in Knight Rider or not. Just to bring some activity here. Youtube links would be nice :) I'll start for example with Sandra, Maria Magdalena. Love this synth pop music :) Might've been nic...

Re: Anyone know the name of the COMTRON Font?
Commodore Amiga had Fonts library already in the 80's.
I have similar Font in my computer (PC, Win10) called Computerfont. I have forgotten though where I downloaded it.

Re: Never Did Like Devon When Series Progressed
Wasn't Devon originally an engineer who was the team leader for creating KITT and probably KARR as well? Engineers and humanists seems to be totally different people :D When Wilton Knight died, Devon sort of took his position at the Foundation. There was still higher bosses so for example Devon had ...

Re: What have I found???
I believe the model in question is the ERTL Joyride 1/18 KITT model. The original version, released in 2004 had the outermost foglights in amber colour, silver base, etc. and later it was updated to have all clear foglights and black base. Here's my original 2004 KITT with small mods (amber foglight...

Found my first videogames and computer
Recently found from my parents storage the first videogame console I ever played with, a Conic TVG 201-4. My parents bought it maybe in the late 70's and loved playing with it as a kid. It's been in cold storage at least 25 years and unfortunately batteries were still inside, rusted through, leaked ...

Interesting topic :) For me it's almost the same as above. From best to weakest: 1. Season 2, lots of memorable and exciting episodes like Soul Survivor, Knightmares, etc. If hard pressed, maybe Mouth of the Snake, Return to Cadiz and Brother's Keeper are my less watched episodes. 2. Season 1, the o...

Re: Knight rider on the PS2 system -users have played that?
Here's pics of my PS2 version of the Knight Rider 2 game, front and back cover, inside the case and the purple disc. Until now I thought PS2 uses DVD discs for games but Knight Rider 2 game is in CD format. Checked out GT3 and GT4 and they are DVD discs though. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4681/24...

Re: confusing moment Knight of the Phoenix
When Michael called Devon, didn't he mention that forget the local police, they've been bought or something to that effect? (haven't watched the Pilot for a while). Isn't that what Knight Rider is about, fighting against the criminals who operate above the law ;) Surely nothing makes sense if crimin...

Re: Knight rider on the PS2 system -users have played that?
I mentioned it, out of interest. Knight Rider has been airing here in the UK on channel 31 on the freeview box, that is how I watch television, so no cable subscription. But yeah, I completed when I got it, and yes, not a special game, but certainly the car is the focus, and it is inspired from a f...

Haven't played it very much yet, just few first missions but already I get the feeling that there is room for improvement :P As a side note, never had PS2 before, only the PS1 and PS3. It's the original PS2 Fat model and I'...

Re: If kitt would've been a Datsun ?
Bionic Woman had Datsun few years earlier so maybe that was one reason why Knight Rider didn't use it? Maybe Mazda RX-7 could've been another choice? I bet if Knight Rider had used any other car than '82 Trans-Am, we would complain right now: "Why they didn't use 1982 Pontiac Trans-Am for KITT ...

Re: What sort of computer is in KITT?
The real Intellivision has hard wired controllers which have numeric keypads and the "directional disc". In the episode it looks like they are playing with the more common Atari style joystic. This would pull towards to emulation for KITT instead of putting Intellivision hardware under KIT...

Re: Did Universal eventually fix the DVD issues?
Do you have the US version box or EU version? I have bought three different EU region 3rd Season DVD releases (UK, Nordic and Nordic slim case) and all of them have missing sound effects. Haven't bought the entire 1-4 box though, just the one Season per box releases.
