Dragonborne
Game Boy · 2021
About this game
Dragonborne is an action-adventure and can be seen as a mix of games like The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (overworld), Pokémon (fight screens) and Final Fantasy Adventure / Mystic Quest (gameplay elements).
You play as Kris, son of the legendary dragon slayer Kurtis, to find his father who was reported missing.

Unfortunately it's also the season where all the dragons awake and cause the appearance of monsters in the world - an exceptionally bad time for a dragon slayer to disappear.
On his quest Kris will travel through an expansive overworld, help the inhabitants with their problems, fight against the Dragontooth Gang and various monsters, solve riddles in dungeons and last but not least defeat several dragons.
One of the key elements to progress is finding dragon scales - the world contains several areas locked by seals that can only be broken with the corresponding amount of scales.
These can be acquired in dungeons, by solving quests or in various minigames.
The turn-based fight system is quite basic: You can attack, cast one of up to three magic spells, drink a potion or use a special attack of your weapon.
It is missing the elements of a classical RPG though because there is no experience system, so fights will only serve to open doors, be able to enter an area or gain a story relevant item.
Healing potions can be bought at stores, and because the enemies don't drop any coins the biggest source of income is selling caught fish.
The character's stats will still improve over time by getting more powerful armor and weapons during the story.
In the end of the game you will get a rank, based on various parameters such as collected items (crystals, golden dragon statues) and deaths.
About Game Boy
The original Game Boy (1989) proved that handheld gaming didn't need cutting-edge graphics to succeed — its monochrome screen and legendary battery life, combined with Tetris as a pack-in, made it a cultural phenomenon. Game Boy cartridges are famously durable, so this remains one of the more accessible retro platforms to collect, though translucent color variants and complete-in-box copies with the original brick-sized manual add real value for condition-focused collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Dragonborne for Game Boy 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 Dragonborne 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 GB release dates back to 2021.

Market insights
Rarity & condition

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.
