Accompanied by the alien Stripey, Dan must explore the asteroid, collect items, and engage in hand-to-hand combat with Treen guards.
The game blends side-scrolling exploration with boxing-style combat, challenging players to rescue prisoners, sabotage the base, and ultimately confront the Mekon.
With its mix of action, puzzle-solving, and storytelling, Dan Dare offers a classic space adventure experience.
The Commodore 64 version offers a distinctive gameplay experience with its joystick-controlled movement and context-sensitive interactions.
Players can throw grenades, engage in close-quarters boxing matches with energy bars, and interact with objects using a caption-based selection system.
The ultimate goal is to free the prisoners, sabotage the asteroid's systems, confront the Mekon, and make a daring escape, all while managing limited resources and solving environmental challenges.
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 Dan Dare: Pilot of the Future 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 Dan Dare: Pilot of the Future 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 1986.
