About this game
This game brings to life a 19th century Chinese love story between an emperor and his mistress.

Explore one of China's most historic and beautiful locations, Yuan Ming Yuan (the Garden of Perfect Brightness ), where Lotus Spring spent her life after being banished to that place by the jealous Dowager Empress CiXi, the emperor's first wife.
Wander leisurely through lush Chinese gardens, flower-bordered pathways and authentically recreated buildings as the bittersweet story unfolds.
You'll learn about the culture and traditions of China as a natural part of the storytelling.
As objects are examined, collected and used you'll unlock Feng's memories of his relationship with Lotus Spring one by one.
The game employs still graphic backgrounds with QuickTime technology for motion and video cut-scenes.
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 Lotus III: The Ultimate Challenge 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 Lotus III: The Ultimate Challenge 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 1993.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Lotus III: The Ultimate Challenge, 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.
