About this game

In the year 2XXX A.D., Earth is under attack from the aliens of Planet X.

Armed with monsters of terrible destructive force, the invaders establish bases on every planet of the solar system.

These monsters include the foes Gezora, Moguera, Baragon, Varan, Hedorah, Gigan, Mecha-Godzilla and King Ghidora.

To combat the menace, Earth sends two of it's own monsters, Godzilla and Mothra, in order to drive back the invaders of Planet X.

Godzilla is a game of alternating turns between the player and the AI.

On each turn, the player may select either Godzilla or Mothra and move them across a hex field map taking place on one of the planets of the solar system.

Any tiles of the hex field that are crossed must be battled through by the selected monster during an action sequence with side-scrolling gameplay: dodging obstacles or destroying them, battling smaller enemies and evading projectiles.

Enemies and obstacles encountered depend on the terrain type, which include mountainous, jungle, volcano, alien city, underwater and special.

Encounters against enemy monsters on the map may also take place.

These boss battles last 90 seconds, with either one side's monster being defeated or the turn ending.

Mothra can move four tiles each turn and has additional mobility through her flying.

She fires red laser bolts from her eyes and can unleash special pollen bombs that she drops at an angle downwards.

Godzilla can only move two tiles each turn but is the stronger creature.

He can punch, kick, swipe with his tail, jump and unleash radioactive breath on everything in front of him.

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 Godzilla 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 Godzilla 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 1988.

Rarity & condition

Godzilla 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.
