Collector interest

The Flash, released in the US by THQ, leans on the DC speedster licence but stays minor within the wave of Game Boy superhero adaptations. Its desirability comes mainly from the character's name and a modest US run that thins out complete copies, while the game, stiff and dated, made no mark. It is a title for completists of portable DC licences rather than an object sought for its merits.
