Heatseeker
Commodore 64 · 1990
About this game
On the planet Tantris are the Triphylios of Nem plants, which help keep the populous alive and the vast forests pure.
But the increasing amount of industry has resulted in high levels of pollution, damaging the plants and killing off the forests.

To deal with the forthcoming doom, the Gnostics constructed the Leg, a heat probe that has the capability of entering polluted areas, absorbing the heat of the Zeal smog flames, and giving that heat to the three plants.
It can hop up plants and walls, and slide along the floor for faster movement.
To defend itself from dangers – which include wildlife and acid rain - the Leg can shoot the Ball which it carries, or use a smart bomb if the going gets tough.
Contact with any danger loses the Leg energy.
Chalk can be collected which protects it from the acid rain.
The Ball can also be thrown out to collect heat, which must be stored in the Leg so that it can be given to the three Triphylios plants.
If it has stored enough energy, the plants open petals to block the acid rain.
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 Heatseeker 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 Heatseeker 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 1990.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Heatseeker, 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.
