Collector interest

Gear Works is a 1992 mechanical gear puzzle released under Sony Imagesoft, Sony's games arm before the PlayStation. Obscure and dry to play, it draws interest less from reputation than from its publisher: Sony Imagesoft barely marked the Game Boy catalogue, making this a pre-PlayStation curiosity. A limited US run gives a modest value carried by the object's scarcity rather than player demand.
