Off-World Interceptor - Special Weapons

Special Weapons

Aside from the previously mentioned pickups, the player also numerous special weapons at his or her disposal to aid them in surviving the various levels of the game. Like pickups, special weapons can also be acquired on the battlefield.

• Missiles - Long range weapon. All cars come equipped with their own type of missile. In the original version of the game, a missile pickup gives the player three missiles, while in the Extreme version, a missile pickup is only worth one missile.
• Nitro - Grants the player a small boost in speed, handy for outrunning enemies or when the player comes under time issues.
• Plasma Mine - A highly destructive mine that can be dropped behind the player's car. The player carries an unlimited supply of plasma mines, though they have to slowly regenerate over time.
• Air Strike - Calls in a bomber to obliterate all enemies in the general vicinity of the player, useful for desperate situations.
• Emergency - Calls in the emergency jet. The emergency jet is used to help lift the player out of chasms or off walls in which the player has gotten stuck on. The emergency jet is only seen in the original version, since the original Interceptor game is the only version where the player can get stuck on the terrain.
