Eliminate Down Remix

Eliminate Down is a fast-paced horizontal shooter for the Sega Mega Drive, first hitting shelves in Japan back on June 25, 1993. Players dive into intense action with detailed sci-fi backdrops and a standout weapon system that lets you pick your firing direction, creating that addictive mix of strategy and chaos that keeps you hooked. It built a loyal fanbase thanks to its smooth controls and gritty, dark atmosphere, kind of like those old-school arcade games where every level feels like a high-stakes battle against waves of enemies.

If you’re new to it or want to jump in quick, you can play this game fast and easy on kbhgames.com for free with no installation, right on the browser—perfect for trying it out during a break without any hassle.

Now, about the hack that amps things up: it came from playing the original and spotting a few spots that could use tweaks. For instance, using a 6-button controller to swap weapons or tweak speed on the fly just made sense, and those continues often left you starting over basically powerless, which felt like a drag. It hit me that reworking that could make the whole experience flow better, turning frustrations into smarter gameplay.

This updated version packs in a bunch of smart changes, all right there in the options menu for easy access. There’s a fresh Remix Mode where weapons level up on their own, the heads-up display gets a redesign for clearer info, and dying doesn’t strip you of everything—it’s more forgiving so you can bounce back. You even keep your power-ups and score when restarting a stage, plus shield pickups stack up for manual activation, giving players more control over when to use them strategically.

The mini-game got an overhaul too, handing out credits and unlocking up to three cheats depending on your score, which adds some replay value. Once you clear stages, they pop up selectable in the menu, and your high scores plus any unlocks save automatically to SRAM as the game wraps up and heads back to the SEGA screen.

On top of that, it throws in speed cycling for 3-button controllers and full control over weapon direction and speed if you’re using a 6-button one, making it adaptable no matter your setup. Overall, this hack smooths out the rough edges while keeping the core thrill intact for anyone looking to revisit or discover this gem.
