PRESS INFORMATION:

60 seconds and counting. Defy the race against time in Eliminator from Psygnosis.

Atlanta, GA – May 28, 1998 - You’re against the clock and only the trigger can save you. Your heart beats, the adrenaline flows and only mastery of Eliminator™, a unique combination of racing, arcade and shoot'em up game-play, will guarantee your escape.

You are a prisoner of war shot down and transported to a military weapons testing arena where your captors arsenal is about to be tried out. On you. A time bomb is strapped to your craft and as soon as play starts, the detonator on the explosive device counts down. To survive, you must collect time pick-ups that are dotted around the track which give you extra time before the bomb detonates.

From a choice of 6 high powered crafts, you'll soon be twisting and turning around the 3D track in an arena. Each level is comprised of several arenas which you can only access by effectively defeating all the enemies. Destroying an enemy craft when inside an arena will increase your time, this is to compensate for the time the player has wasted while engaging the enemy. As each arena is completed you gain access to more combat arenas.

Each level constitutes a different interplanetary location, each with its' own distinct look and feel, from the bubbling Lava World to the underwater scenes of the Tropical Atoll. The arenas within a level are inter-linked by tunnels within which there will be attacking enemy craft to destroy also - so there is no respite from attack. Power-ups will be dotted throughout the game to allow the player to further personalise their craft and build much more powerful ships. By collecting credits you can actually upgrade to a completely new ship.

The levels are decorated with ultra realistic 3D graphics and populated with fully texture-mapped & light-sourced in-game shapes. Superb weapons effects add drama to the action.

The highly manoeuvrable craft deliver the handling you expect from a top racing game and with super-fast action, Eliminator is a white knuckle race against time.

Developed by Magenta, Eliminator will be available for PlayStation™ and PC CD-ROM in Q3 1998.
