Convoy Raider
Commodore 64 · 1987
About this game
Your country is at war and as a Captain of a Battleship you must patrol an inner sea to find and destroy aircraft, missiles, ships and submarines.
The main playing screen gives you various options and these include three radars, a map screen, status screen and three types of mini-game icons.

The three radars are to track either aircraft, ships or submarines and these are represented by a white dot when they are within range.
The map screen has two maps, one a map of the whole area and the other one showing a closer look at your location.
On this screen you can control the speed of your ship and steer it with black dots showing the enemy forces.
The status screen shows a profile of your ship and any damage is shown as red and if the whole ship is red then it is damaged and the game is over.
When an attack is imminent then a gauge besides one of the mini-game icons turns yellow before turning red and that game can be played.
If an aircraft is attacking then the game has you controlling a gun to shoot down the planes viewed from a 1st person perspective.
You can move the gun left or right and move it up or down to hit the planes before they drop bombs on your ship.
This screen is also used for any missile attack.
If any convoy's of ships are attacking then you must fire a missile at the convoy by first lining up a sight that keeps moving while a timer counts down.
When the time reaches zero and the sight is red then it will hit a ship but if it doesn't turn red then you have missed.
The final game is when a submarine is attacking and the game switches to a 3D side view showing above and below the water.
You control a helicopter above the water while the submarine is below.
You can move the helicopter left or right, and in and out of the screen.
A cursor of the left of the screen moves up and down and when fire is pressed this drops a depth charge which also stops the cursor and this shows the depth your depth charge will explode.
About Commodore 64
Released in 1982, the Commodore 64 is the best-selling home computer model of all time, with an enormous software library spanning games, productivity tools, and everything in between. C64 game collecting centers on cassette tapes and floppy disks in their original packaging — physical media that's inherently fragile, so complete, working copies from the era are increasingly prized by retro computing collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Convoy Raider for Commodore 64 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 Convoy Raider 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 C64 release dates back to 1987.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Convoy Raider, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Commodore 64 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
