Shockwave
Commodore Amiga · 1990
About this game
In Shockwave you need to retrieve powerful crystals left behind by the Tarian race.
The Rastons are after the crystals also, which places a short time limit on the mission.

You are armed only with a spacesuit and a shockwave pistol.
To retrieve the crystals, you will need to find your way through numerous mazes.
Blocks in the maze can be moved with the shockwave pistol.
When you hit a block with the pistol, this will move blocks adjacent to the block hit rather than the block itself.
If numerous blocks are lined up, the shockwave will continue to travel through the blocks until the path is clear and a block can be moved.
Some blocks are indestructable and immovable, while others can be moved, and some completely destroyed.
Teleportation doors, force fields and other special items can be found in some mazes.
To complete most of the levels the blocks will need to be moved about in the proper order to avoid leaving a critical path permanently blocked.
If you do get stuck, there is an option to restart a maze (this feature becomes more and more useful as the game progresses.) Wandering about many of the levels are FireStars which will weaken your spacesuit and eventually destroy it.
Each level has a time limit in which to solve the maze and retrieve all of the crystals.
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 Shockwave 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 Shockwave 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 1990.

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