About this game
Two centuries ago, an alien species known as the Kojans kidnapped the people of Earth and made them their slaves.
But the Earthlings never gave hope of returning to their homeland.

So they sent you, a brave space ship pilot, to travel through the galaxy in search of the Earth.
But beware, as the Kojans won't let you pass without a fight! The gameplay is divided into two parts.
You begin in the simulation mode, controlling your ship from first-person perspective.
You can change your altitude, speed, and weapons, at the same time paying attention to the fuel you have left.
Once you have defeated enough enemies and landed on a planet, the game turns into a side-scrolling shooter in which you must navigate your ship through arcade sequences.
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 Destination Earthstar 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 Destination Earthstar 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 1990.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Destination Earthstar 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.
