PlayStation · 1998
About this game
Not much of a fighter? Like to work with exotic animals? Like helping people? Then start gathering your seeds today! Monster Seed obviously takes influence from the popular animal raising/fighting genre; specifically games like Pokémon and Monster Rancher .
Of course, it does do a few things differently.

One major difference is the fantasy setting.
No ranches or medical settings here, no sir.
Another key difference is in the overall presentation; Monster Seed's gameplay and interface are a lot more simple than most other breeding games.
Similar to mother games in the genre, there's a brief tutorial of sorts, and then you're off to gather your own creatures, earning better seeds and other breeding components as you go.
Just be careful with your critters, because if they die in battle, they're gone for good.
Granted you can always breed more, but it can certainly set you back if your creature hatches at level five, but you lost a level twelve.
Combat itself uses a somewhat typical turn-based system, with a grid used to determine character locations, spell ranges and so on.
Much like a normal RPG, you get to take turns giving commands to your main character and your monsters.
Different monsters are better suited for different roles, with some better off hanging out in the back, attacking from a distance and others in the front lines, absorbing the damage and dishing out the hurt.
Monster Seed isn't the most innovative RPG/breeding game out there, but it is a decent game that will help any fan of the genre pass the time.
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 Monster Seed 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 Monster Seed 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 1998.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Monster Seed, 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.
