Exterminator places you inside the body of a pest control man, and like any good simulator you get a view of the action from the users perspective. This way you get to live the life of such professional (Yes! Just what I always dreamed of!).

The simulator is limited to the use of your hands only, (yup, you're alive, but no kicking allowed!). You can smash things up, shoot to kill, slap, etc, but no kicking or headbutting, shame...
There isn't also no 'classic' exterminator goodies to use, like pesticide guns or rat traps, instead you only shoot some kind of laser from your index finger, like when playing Space Invaders.

The arcade version was very good, with clear well defined and realistic graphics, maybe the reason I never fancied it much, it missed the cartoonish feel I so much like in games.
The Speccy version is very faithful to the original and very playable with good presentation, jamming sounds and with lots of action to keep you pumping adrenalin.
