Auto Destruct is a vehicular combat game released for the PlayStation in 1998 by Electronic Arts and developed by Neurostone. Players step into the shoes of a retired racing driver on a revenge mission against a fanatical cult, undertaking mission-based driving across varied 3D city environments. Combining open-world exploration elements with intense arcade combat, it requires navigating traffic, hunting down targets, and surviving enemy ambushes in heavily armed vehicles.
How to Play
The objective is to complete various timed missions given by a secretive organization, which range from escorting VIPs to destroying specific cult targets. In the browser emulator, the default PlayStation controls map the D-pad to the arrow keys for steering, while acceleration and braking are handled with the ‘X’ and ‘Z’ keys. You can fire your equipped weapons, such as machine guns and missiles, using the ‘A’ and ‘S’ keys. Use Enter (Start) to pause or view the map. Managing fuel and ammunition is critical, as you must visit specialized stations scattered around the city to repair and rearm during missions.
Tips
- Keep an eye on your radar to locate repair and rearm stations; memorizing their locations in each city will save you precious time when heavily damaged.
- Avoid unnecessary collisions with civilian traffic, as they slow you down and chip away at your armor before you even reach your main targets.
- Use your heavier weapons sparingly on priority targets like enemy armored vehicles or boss encounters, relying on the machine gun for standard obstacles.
