Collector interest

Mindscape's European adaptation of the Battleship board game holds only marginal collecting interest. The title is common loose, and its value rests solely on sealed copies that have grown scarce for a licence with no real aura. No strong regional exclusivity, no lasting demand. It survives as a marker of the many board-game ports that filled the Game Boy catalogue in the early 1990s.
