He conquered the industrial city of Atlantis, and is now preparing to take over the world.
The United Nations decided to retaliate by sending two of their top class Special Forces officers, Ben and Andy, to infiltrate the city and destroy the enemy base using a newly developed time bomb--Sigma.
Crack Down is a time-limited action game.
The two heroes, Ben and Andy, have to get through the levels as quickly as possible placing bombs on X marks scattered around the levels.
Although the levels are heavily defended, the player has an array of weaponry including a cannon, machine gun, and superbombs.
The game may be played as either a one or two-player game.
About Sega Genesis
Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.
Gamevaro tracks Crack Down for Sega Genesis with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Crack Down to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GEN release dates back to 1990.
