Transarctica
Commodore Amiga · 1993
About this game
The story is based on a post-apocalyptic science fiction saga La Compagnie des Glaces (The Ice Company) written by Georges-Jean Arnaud and the comic strip Le Transperceneige (The Snowpiercer) by Jacques Lob.
In the 21st century, mankind is being ravaged by the greenhouse effect.

A last-ditch effort to counteract it is designed and executed.
It works far too well.
Centuries if not millennia later, the planet is entirely covered in a thick, opaque cloud layer.
Giant wolf packs roam the frozen wastes, and the mammoth has re-emerged from the elephant stock.
Mankind ekes out a living in a few handfuls of settlements, connected by a network of massive armored trains.
The network in turn is in the hands of the gargantuan Viking Union, which is merciless towards threats to its power.
A few radicals, though, are willing to attempt a change, and managing to hijack a train of the Union, the Transarctica, they set out in search of the "sun".
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 Transarctica 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 Transarctica 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 Transarctica, 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.
