About this game
DiRT is the first racing game in the Colin McRae series not to solely focus on the rally championship.
It features other offroad events with vehicles like buggies, jeeps or trucks all licensed from the manufacturers.

Races are not always solo against the times of other drivers, but up to eight cars often race together on a single track.
The main game mode is the career where you work your up a pyramid of different tiers with events ranging from normal Rallies over Crossover or Corr to Hill Climb.
For every event you complete successfully, you get points and money.
Money is used to buy new cars.
While the amount of money depends on choosing one of the five difficulty levels, the amount of points depends on your final result in the event; you receive the maximum of 10 points for completing an event with a first place regardless of the difficulty level.
These points are needed to unlock new events in the current tier.
If you have gathered enough points the next tier will be automatically unlocked so you don't need to do every race in a tier in order to unlock the final event at the top.
The difficulty level not only influences the strength of the other drivers, but also how critical the damage is upon hitting obstacles.
Some events are further split up into two or three races where the damage is carried over and the allotted sixty seconds worth of damage repair is not offered after every subevent.
The main parts that can be repaired are the engine, turbo, exhaust, gearbox, bodywork, wheels, suspension, cooling system and it is also possible to clean the entire car.
All events feature several licensed true-to-detail-vehicles which also have a detailed damage model.
Each vehicle can in addition be tuned in several categories like engine or suspension before each event.
To help you make it even more individual, you can create your own look of the car with several dozens predefined kits.
There are also 182 different liveries to collect in the game and 46 different cars.
About Game Boy
The original Game Boy (1989) proved that handheld gaming didn't need cutting-edge graphics to succeed — its monochrome screen and legendary battery life, combined with Tetris as a pack-in, made it a cultural phenomenon. Game Boy cartridges are famously durable, so this remains one of the more accessible retro platforms to collect, though translucent color variants and complete-in-box copies with the original brick-sized manual add real value for condition-focused collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Dirty Racing for Game Boy 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 Dirty Racing 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 GB release dates back to 1993.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Dirty Racing has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
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.
