ELIMINATOR Hewson 1988 CONTROLS : Keyboard, Kempston ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AIM : As the eponymous Eliminator, it's your job to clear the highways of the future of an alien infestation. GAMEPLAY : It's pretty simple, really: race along the roads, shooting the aliens, avoiding the obstacles and so on. Power-ups can be collected and activated by selecting them with the Q key. There are quite a few barriers along the road, which must be avoided - some can be leapt over by hitting a strategically-positioned ramp, while parts of others (coloured red) can be shot out to allow passage. Adding to the general mayhem, on some levels you will be flipped upside-down onto the "ceiling"! COMMENTS : "A fast and playable 'roadblasting' shoot-em-up". RATING : 82% (CRASH #63, April 1989) NOW : Although it's a little tricky to play (thanks to the Spectrum's relatively low resolution) ELIMINATOR is a nice game nonetheless. The 16-bit versions are very good indeed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KEYS : Left - O Right - P Fire - Space Select next - Q weapon
