Commodore 64 · 1982
About this game
Monster Smash is a side view single screen platformer where your task is to capture all the monsters that are partying around the local graveyard.
The screen has four rows of platforms containing four gravestones on three of the levels and part of the platforms can be turned 90°.

The partying monsters appear from the top and left of the screen and move to the right of the screen along the platforms.
Turning the platforms makes the monsters move downwards when they hit the turned parts and head to the bottom of the screen.
Pressing the fire button makes the gravestones move up and down and when a monster hits a gravestone then they are captured.
If the monster hits the other side of the screen then they have escaped and let too many escape, shown by a gauge, then it is game over.
Once a certain amount of monsters have been captured then you move to the next level.
Before you start the game you can select the level number from one to nine.
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 Monster Smash 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 Monster Smash 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 1982.

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