About this game

A colossal earthquake has struck the United States of America, causing blackouts in several buildings across the country.

Now it's up to the electrician, Mr.

Light, to restore power to several of these buildings.

The game is broken down into two parts.

The first part involves climbing up and down the sides of a building looking for breaks in an electric circuit.

Once one is found between floors, the player jumps off the ladder and unspools some wire, making connections for the electric current to go through.

Doing this will light up the rooms of the building.

Occasionally, this will cause a thief to appear.

Capturing this thief will reward the player an item, the most valuable being a bell which will grant the player an extra life.

After lighting up all the rooms in the building, the player is free to leave at the exit door at the bottom of the building.

Being an electrician is a hazardous job though.

The player has to be careful not to get bit by any of the insects and animals that also occupy the building.

These pests can also chew through wire undoing the players hard work (however, if they bite any live wires they will get zapped).

Players also have to be careful not get electrocuted by any of the electric sparks roaming around on the wires.

Also, falling from great heights can cost the player a life.

The second part of the game involves exploring an animal infested underground sewer area in order to find an entrance to the next building.

Light is armed with only a flashlight and his jumping and ducking ability.

About Nintendo Entertainment System

The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.

Gamevaro tracks Electrician for Nintendo Entertainment System 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 Electrician 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 NES release dates back to 1986.

Rarity & condition

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Electrician, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Entertainment System 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.
