Eliminator is a high-speed vehicular combat shooter developed by Magenta Software and released for the PlayStation in 1999. Published by Psygnosis, the game puts you behind the controls of heavily armed futuristic craft racing down twisting, tubular tracks. Rather than a traditional racing game, the focus is entirely on surviving the fast-paced gauntlet, destroying enemy targets, and dodging environmental hazards before the time runs out.
How to Play
Your objective is to navigate each stage’s enclosed tracks while destroying alien enemies and avoiding obstacles to reach the finish line before your shield energy or time depletes. Since this is a PlayStation title running in your browser, standard console controls apply: use the directional buttons (mapped to your keyboard’s arrow keys) to steer and adjust your speed, while the main action buttons (Z, X, A, S) handle firing your primary weapons, deploying secondary attacks, and jumping to evade ground-based hazards. Collect power-ups scattered along the track to replenish your shields and upgrade your arsenal.
Tips
- Master the Jump: Many obstacles and incoming attacks span the entire width of the track. Use your vehicle’s jump ability to leap over hazards rather than trying to steer around them at high speeds.
- Conserve Secondary Weapons: Your more powerful secondary weapons are limited. Save them for larger enemy encounters or heavily shielded targets later in the stage.
- Manage Your Speed: While going fast is essential to beat the clock, knowing when to brake is crucial. Slow down to navigate tight clusters of obstacles and line up accurate shots on difficult enemies.
