Paro Wars
PlayStation · 1997
About this game
A turn-based strategy game based on the characters of the Parodius shooter series.
You take your pick out of 8 classic characters from the Parodius games and pit their unique armies against the other character's in several scenarios in an all-out battle for total supremacy.

Gameplay is divided between strategic phases played in a "world map" from which you build up your army and attempt to take control of several factories that provide the resources needed for unit creation, and tactical turn-based battles in which you deploy your army in hopes of taking over a control zone or similar objective from an opposing player (either human or AI-controlled).
The game uses a combination of 3D backgrounds and 2D sprites for units and characters.
As usual for games in the series, the game is filled with bizarre humor and parodies many other Konami franchises.
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 Paro Wars 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 Paro Wars 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 1997.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Paro Wars, 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.
