The Deep
Commodore 64 · 1987
About this game
In The Deep the player takes the role of a ship which has to defend itself against a variety of underwater enemies, e.g. u-boats or jellyfish with weapons.
All the enemies launch missiles or mines at the boat which can be dodged by moving left or right.

Water bombs can be dropped to get rid of the enemies - but there are only eight available which slowly refill over time.
Sometimes a helicopter drops crates which include useful extras like smart bombs, steering rockets or additional speed.
The ship can also turn into a submarine to collect things under the water.
Every screen has a different objective, e.g. collecting an orb, bombing an underwater station or destroying a powerful ship.
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 The Deep 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 The Deep 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 1987.

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