TRIVIA: Representing Hewson's first original 16-bit game, ELIMINATOR started out life on the Atari ST as a motorbike racing game featuring tunnels that the motorbike could ride up and down. However, the idea was discarded due to the Atari ST's technical limitations and the game morphed into an action shoot ‘em-up set on a patchwork-quilt coloured road, where the player controls a weaponised spacecraft battling wave after wave of aliens.
