Collector interest

Released only in Japan by Soft Bank in 1990, this obscure very-early Game Boy title never left the archipelago and stays largely unknown outside specialist circles. Its modest but real value rests on that obscurity, a small initial run and the trouble of finding it complete today. No notable gameplay aura carries it, making it a catalogue rarity for completists of the Japanese library.
