About KHAN Games

Kevin Hanley of KHAN Games began making video games in 2009, starting with a focus on the system he cherished most from his childhood, the NES. He quickly began to make a name for himself in the NES community by producing many quality games to date. His most recent endeavor, Courier, will be out in the year 2023.

“I think my biggest inspiration has come from point-and-click adventure games from the DOS era.” Kevin Hanley of KHAN Games said. “King's Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, and Manhunter have directly inspired a few of my games”

“Every year my friends and I do an escape room on my birthday,” Hanley said. ”I wanted to bring that fun to the NES for everyone to experience!”

“I highly recommend getting together with some friends and putting this game on.” Hanley said. “Everyone will know exactly what to do... or so they think!”
