About this game
While King Maximus ruled the land, life was good in the four continents.
The Sceptre of Order rested safely in his hands, keeping at bay the forces of darkness that infested the world.

Honest folks made honest livings.
And nobody complained much.
But far across the waters, Arech Dragonbreath, leader of the Dark Legions, looked enviously upon the wealth and splendor of the four continents.
With the aid of great magic, Arech stole into the chambers of King Maximus and wrested the Sceptre from the grip of the sleeping King.
He then released his evil forces, ordering his minions and lieutenants to seize the land in whatever manner they pleased (as long as it involved considerable amounts of pain and terror).
Arech retired to his new lair on the four continents and waited for King Maximus’s certain resistance.
The King and his forces, however, offered none.
Fearing some kind of trickery, Arech peered into his prophetic crystal to see what Maximus was up to.
The crystal showed the King lying in bed, his face pale and gaunt like death itself.
Over the King stood a noble young knight with the strength and resolve of great leader.
The King was speaking. "Come here" he gasped, "I am weak and breath is a luxury.
Please." He extended his hand and the great leader drew close. "You must restore my kingdom.
I, too, must be restored.
I am tied to this land and as it dies, so do I.
My days here are numbered.
You must recover the Sceptre if I and my land are to live."Arech watched this exchange and quickly buried the Sceptre somewhere on the four continents.
He draw a map of its location, then shredded it into 25 pieces.
He gave one to each of his 16 villainous nobles, kept one for himself, and the other eight he hid with powerful artifacts around the four continents.
Your time grows short, leader.
You have your quest and King Maximus’s last hope.
May you be guarded in your journey by the Spirits of Order.
About Commodore 64
Released in 1982, the Commodore 64 is the best-selling home computer model of all time, with an enormous software library spanning games, productivity tools, and everything in between. C64 game collecting centers on cassette tapes and floppy disks in their original packaging — physical media that's inherently fragile, so complete, working copies from the era are increasingly prized by retro computing collectors.
Gamevaro tracks King's Bounty for Commodore 64 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding King's Bounty to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This C64 release dates back to 1990.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for King's Bounty, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Commodore 64 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
