A great fishing competition begins this summer in Florida and Hawaii.
You are invited to participate in it.
Will you be able to demonstrate your fisherman skills and win the competition? The Blue Marlin is a fishing simulation.
You start out in Florida and work your way through various fishing stages in Florida and Hawaii.
Each stage contains three different locations.
You navigate your boat from a top-down view, choose an appropriate place, and then start fishing.
You can choose the length of the line, how deep you put it into water, what lure you use, etc.
The more you fish, and the better fish you catch, the better stats you gain.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Blue Marlin for Nintendo Entertainment System 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 Blue Marlin 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 NES release dates back to 1991.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Blue Marlin 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.
