Eliminator (1981 Video Game)
''Eliminator'' is a multi-directional shooter space combat game, created and released by Sega/Gremlin in 1981. Similar to the monochrome '' Star Castle'', ''Eliminator'' uses color vector graphics and allows both cooperative and competitive multiplayer gameplay. It is the only four-player vector game ever made. Gameplay Players pilot a space ship around the playfield (space) and must destroy alien drones. The ultimate goal is to evade and destroy the Eliminator, a huge asteroid base. The players fire causes any enemy that is struck (with the exception of the Eliminator itself) to rebound and careen off in another direction. With a little skill, shots can propel the enemy into the Eliminator thus destroying them. There is only one way to destroy the Eliminator, fire a cannon blast down the trench into its center. This can be done directly or via a ricochet. Failure to destroy the Eliminator after a preset time causes the center to activate a drone that flies out of the Eliminato ...
