Eliminate Down

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!
