About this game
Pick 'n Pile is a Tetris-style puzzle game.
On each level there are a variety of symbols arranged in columns on the screen.

By moving the symbols around, you need to create columns which contain identical symbols; once all the symbols in a column are the same, that column disappears.
Your goal is to earn points and complete the levels by making all of the symbols on the screen disappear.
Occasionally, you may become stuck with a symbol that doesn't match anything onscreen; when this happens, you can call for an additional symbol to drop onto the screen.
However, as the symbol which appears is random you may need to create quite a few symbols before the one you need appears.
Each level has a time limit in which it needs to be completed; run out of time and you lose a life; lose all lives and the game is over.
In addition to the regular symbols, there are also some special objects on the screen which may help or hinder your progress.
These include bombs which destroy several symbols at once, blocks which may get in the way or be arranged to help out, death heads which diminish time more quickly, and flower pots which can't be moved.
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 Pick 'n Pile 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 Pick 'n Pile 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 Pick 'n Pile, 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.
