Eliminator 4-player is actually different in hardware from it's two player counterpart in a few respects: 1 Different EPROM data, 2 External I/O board to handle additional inputs and 3 Different slapstick. The cocktail form also has different game EPROM data, but the slapstick and CPU EPROM are the same as the 2-player.
As with all of Sega's vector games, the Electrohome color vector monitor used for this game has a notorious tendency to catch fire. It is unknown what to do to prevent this.
