About this game
The Champ is a boxing video game published in 1989-1991 for the Amiga, Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum computers by the Swiss company Linel, which was based in Liechtenstein at the time.
The original for the Amiga is from Switzerland, while the conversions are the work of the British company Pantheon Software.

The Amiga and Commodore 64 versions include Gonna Fly Now, a song from the famous boxing film Rocky, presumably used with a regular licence since composer Bill Conti is credited in the game manual.
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 Champ 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 Champ 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 1989.

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