Avenger
TurboGrafx CD · 1990
About this game
Avenger is a vertically-scrolling shooter, in which the player navigates a plane through levels populated by hostile planes, tanks, cannons, ships, stationary devices, and massive boss enemies.
Before each mission, the player can choose among different weapons in three categories: main, sub, and special.

Main and sub weapons are fired simultaneously and have unlimited ammunition, while the powerful special attacks are accessed by pressing a different button and are limited.
The player can try any combination of the three categories, for example enhancing the main rocket launcher with a pod that fires laser to the sides as a sub weapon, and a protective shield as a special one.
Power-ups change properties rapidly, so the player has to catch them at a specific time to enhance either main, sub, or special weapon.
Those power-ups do not change the properties of a weapon, but rather give it additional fire power.
About TurboGrafx CD
The TurboGrafx-CD (1989) was one of the earliest CD-ROM add-ons for a home console, expanding the TurboGrafx-16's library with games too large for cartridges. Its already-niche parent platform combined with the added cost of the CD add-on kept the North American audience small, making complete TurboGrafx-CD sets a genuinely rare find for collectors today.
Gamevaro tracks Avenger for TurboGrafx CD 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 Avenger 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 TGCD release dates back to 1990.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Avenger, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common TurboGrafx CD 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.
