Exterminator

Amiga · 1990 · EU

This obscure coin-op comes from Gottlieb, a company best known for their pinball machines. The plot is that all kinds of mayhem have broken out in a nondescript street in the suburbs of Chicago. Swarms of insects have mutated into ferociously lethal creatures, rats and frogs have turned vicious, while toy tanks have come to life! Clearly your average, everyday pest control isn't going to be able to cope so it's time to call in the EXTERMINATOR! Who? Well he's certainly no wimp, all he needs to sort things out are his bare hands - and in this game you control one such disembodied hand. Houses are represented by a series of 3-D rooms where various baddies come buzzing, trundling, scurrying and leaping toward you. You can deal with them by slamming your fist down from a great height, shooting them by moving your hand to the side of the screen, or grabbing them in midair. Simply totaling the creatures isn't enough; the Exterminator also has to clean the floor! On the first level, cans must be smashed open to turn a tile over to your colour. Create a vertical line and you complete a level. Once all the rooms in a house are cleared, it's onto to the next house. Clear all seven houses and there's an Ultimate Challenge with a huge bonus points prize! To aid you in this task you might like to take along a companion. On the Amiga it's a simultaneous game with players choosing either to cooperate or compete – each creates his own colour tiles.
