Gear works
Commodore Amiga · 1991
About this game
This top-down puzzle game starts with a screen featuring a number of red cogs at different parts of the screen, and a grid of pegs (which become less complete on later levels).
Your task on each level is to use a number of gears of one of 3 different sizes to ensure that all the cogs are linked together.

All this has to be completed before the engine overheats.
Making life harder are two creatures with the peculiar name "Poffins".
One of these goes around removing pegs, and the other causes the engine to overheat further.
They can be shot out of the way, or have gears placed over them to stop them.
There's also a bonus round, which is a fruit machine, only with cogs and other things from the game rather than fruit.
About Commodore Amiga
The Commodore Amiga (1985) was ahead of its time technically — multitasking, custom graphics and sound chips — and built a passionate following in Europe in particular, where it rivaled and often outsold contemporary consoles. Amiga collecting today is a niche but dedicated hobby: original boxed software on floppy disk is comparatively scarce since floppies degrade, making well-preserved complete copies genuinely valuable to the right collector.
Gamevaro tracks Gear works for Commodore Amiga 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 Gear works 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 AMIGA release dates back to 1991.

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