Maggotmania
Commodore 64 · 1983
About this game
Maggotmania is a single screen shooter inspired by the arcade game Centipede where you control a blue creature at the bottom of the screen trying to destroy a large maggot that appears at the top of the screen over various levels.
You can move left or right, and forwards a short distance as well as move backwards and you keep firing upwards when you fire your weapon.

The maggot moves across the screen and when it hits a flower or the edge of the screen then it moves down one place and moves the opposite way.
When you hit the maggot, it splits into two parts and keeps moving downwards towards you leaving behind a flower.
Flowers stop your bullets but after a few shots it disappears and if you hit a flower then you lose one of three lives.
Other creatures make an appearance like a spider and snail and these can be shot for bonus points.
If the maggot reaches the bottom of the screen then it starts to move upwards and when destroyed you move on to the next level.
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 Maggotmania 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 Maggotmania 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 1983.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Maggotmania, 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.
