Uridium
Commodore Amiga · 1986
About this game
Your home solar system of 15 planets has been attacked by a horde of Super Dreadnoughts, from a race who wish to harvest your universe's minerals for their own use.
The player must pilot their craft through various levels, shoot down enemy space craft and ground weapons, and avoid the many indestructible hazards.

When a sufficient number of enemies have been defeated the player can then land on the Dreadnought and proceed to destroy the ship's reactor.
The innovation is that the craft does not simply travel in a single direction, but instead moves from left to right or right to left depending on where the current targets are, in a manner more similar to Defender than most shoot 'em ups.
The action takes place in outer space from a side-scrolling perspective where the ship always remains lined up in the middle of the screen but is able to turn forwards and backwards while accelerating and decelerating.
The ship can also collapse into a slimmer configuration.
Enemies come at you from all directions and in all formations.
Shoot them as quickly as possible while also disabling the enemy fleet's starcruisers as best you can.
In between each level is a bonus round where the player can earn more points.
The ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC versions lack this bonus round.
When the game was ported to the NES, The Last Starfighter license was added.
The Last Starfighter is based on the 1984 movie of the same name.
The hero must single-handedly pilot an extraordinarily powerful starfighter to destroy an enemy armada.
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 Uridium 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 Uridium 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 1986.

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