Collector interest

Cool Ball, the US edition published by Takara, is a puzzle-action game where a ball navigates mazes. The concept is simple yet original, and the title stayed very low-profile at launch. Its surprising loose and CIB prices, several hundred euros complete, stem from a limited Takara run and physical scarcity on the US market, not from ludic fame. A niche curiosity sought for being hard to find.
