About this game
You are Rocket Roger and on your way home to Earth, your ship has run out of fuel and you are forced to land on a mysterious planet.
As you explore the planet you realize that scattered over the planet are fuel crystals and 99 are needed to refuel your ship.

Problem is the locals aren't friendly and will try to kill you as you explore the surface and underground caverns.
Some can be shot with your laser but others must be avoided and if you touch one then you lose one of five lives.
Turrets also need to be avoided as well as their bullets and under the planets surface are electric gates and lasers to avoid touching.
As well as your gun you have a jet-pack strapped to your back and this can help you clear gaps and reach higher parts of the planet.
As you fly your fuel for the jet-pack will decrease but you can collect extra to keep it topped up.
Rocket Roger is a platform game where a small part of the planet is shown and the screen scrolls in all directions when you move.
The keyboard is used to control your hero and as well as the main playing area you can also see your score, jet-pack fuel, best score, crystals collected, lives and which zone you are in.
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 Rocket Roger 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 Rocket Roger 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 1984.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Rocket Roger, 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.
