As a small developer teamed up with Soft Vision, its production was low and estimates put it at around several thousand in Japan and probably less so in South Korea. With growing interest in obscure Japan-only games, Eliminate Down’s value went up thanks to exposure to its gameplay and scarcity. The prices inflated astronomically as interest grew over time. Our interest is in making rare games such as this one available to more people to experience and add a neat treasure to their own collections.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrowse the range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/collections\/retro-bit\"\u003eRetro-Bit products\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/collections\/select-games\"\u003eGames\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Retro-Bit Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44805870878972,"sku":"900734","price":59.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1810\/1427\/files\/eliminate-down-collectors-edition-for-sega-megadrive-pal-region-pre-order-retro-bit900734retro-bit-publishing-617302.jpg?v=1741475349"},{"product_id":"toaplan-shooters-vol-2-grind-stormer-collector-s-edition-for-sega-genesis-megadrive-region-free-pre-order-retro-bit-publishing","title":"Toaplan Shooters Vol 2 - Grind Stormer collector’s edition for Sega Genesis \u0026 Megadrive region free [PRE-ORDER] | Retro-bit Publishing","description":"\u003cb\u003ePRE-ORDER - ETA April 2025 - this is a best estimate and may be subject to delay.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlay the arcade masterpiece at home!\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFly your powerful space fighter through endless waves of alien ships and tanks and blast everything in sight as you make your way through action-packed stages filled with deadly enemies. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnjoy the spectacular graphics, multi-layer scrolling backgrounds, flashy animation, and endless explosions.
