Blaster Master
PlayStation · 2000
About this game
The game begins with a classic story of a boy and his frog who runs away, becomes radioactive and jumps into a hole.
More importantly however, it is a story about a boy named Jason who finds a fully functional battletank, SOFIA the 3rd, and goes adventuring around the underground.

His mission is to find new weapons and add-on parts to the battletank, which will in turn allow him to explore more areas until eventually he finds that freedom-loving mutant frog.
And while he's down there he might as well defeat the Evil Plutonium Boss who wishes to threaten the Earth.
Blaster Master is an action game that mixes platform and overhead segments.
Most of the platforming levels are spent in the tank, which can fire its main cannon as well as secondary weapons with limited ammunition: homing missiles, lightning ball, and warhead missile.
The tank cannot access every area in the platform levels; in order to advance, Jason often has to step out and explore on foot.
At that point the view switches to top-down.
Jason can use his gun and toss grenades to dispatch of regular enemies and bosses encountered on his way.
The gun can be upgraded by collecting power-ups.
The goal of the top-down stages usually involves obtaining special abilities for the tank, such as swimming, driving on walls, and hovering in the air, which must be used at specific locations in the platform stages.
The game uses a "continue" system and ends when Jason has lost all his lives.
There is no password feature and no possibility to save game progress.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks Blaster Master for PlayStation 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 Blaster Master 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 PS1 release dates back to 2000.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Blaster Master, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 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.
