Aim of the game

As the eponymous Eliminator, it's your job to clear the highways of the future of an alien infestation.

Game play

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".

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.
