There have been some amazing games stuck in Japan, and Retro-bit has been crucial in bringing these titles to the masses around the world. One such game had been stuck in Japan and North Korea since it's original release, even though it had garnered much positive praise from magazines and game players alike. But now thanks to Retro-bit, Eliminate Down has been freed from Japan and North Korea and is coming to the Sega Genesis and the Sega Mega Drive.

Whenever there is a discussion of which games are the rarest to find on any console, Eliminate Down will probably be on that list, and with good reason. In the middle of the gaming boom of the early '90s, competition amongst arcade shoot 'em ups was heating up with notable entries by Masaya Games, Konami, Capcom, Toaplan, Renovation, SEGA, and many more. Being a small studio trying to release your own game through a publisher known for golf games was quite a gamble in 1994, but Aprinet and Soft Vision pushed through. However, overshadowed by other big hitters, Eliminate Down would end up relatively dormant outside of hardcore collectors. At the turn of the 2010s, a resurgence began with "hunts" for rare games becoming a hobby, pushing the game up to the top of the most expensive original releases to own. But behind the high price tag is a game filled with great graphics, energetic music, intense boss fights, and difficult enough for you to get heated but want more!

A strange lifeform born from the distortions of outer space begins to consume and take over entire worlds as it continues to expand. It seeks a new target, one that is teeming with life...Earth. The united forces of Earth were unable to stop it and confrontations would result in heavy defeats against these life forms that have evolved into destructive creatures. All of humanity’s hopes are entrusted to a newly developed space fighter that has been named the “Steel Pylon”. You must fly into the unknown carrying humanity’s final hope for a future!
