Eliminator Boat Duel is a 1991 powerboat racing game for the NES developed by Sculptured Software. You race speedboats across swamps, rivers, and open water against increasingly aggressive opponents. The game shifts dynamically between overhead sections where you navigate tight waterways and behind-the-boat perspectives for high-speed straightaways.
How to play
Your goal is to cross the finish line first while avoiding obstacles like logs, alligators, and whirlpools. Winning races and collecting bonuses earns cash to upgrade your boat’s engine, steering, hull, and nitro reserves.

Tips
- Save your nitro boosts for the behind-the-boat straightaway sections or the final sprint. Nitros are hard to control during the twisty overhead sections.
- Hit the ramps during the overhead segments to collect cash bonuses floating in the air. This extra money is essential for affording the best upgrades.
- Upgrading your hull allows you to bump your opponent into obstacles without taking as much damage yourself.
