About this game
Shade and Flat are a pair of treasure hunters who make their living exploring the ancient ruins of ancient magic civilizations looking for items and relics to sell.
One day, after venturing into a particularly dangerous dungeon, one of them is afflicted with a death curse, and it's up to their partner to seek the so-called "Fruit of Life" to save their life.

Treasure Gear is a rogue-like RPG which takes the formula of Mystery Dungeon and adds action elements reminiscent of Gauntlet .
The player can freely move and perform actions without being locked to a grid; time (and therefore enemies) however only moves when the player does, allowing for much more granular control and strategy during combat.
The gameplay consists of entering various randomly-generated dungeons, fighting monsters and searching for items, with the goal of reaching the top floor of each dungeon, recovering a special item, and returning to the entrance.
The player chooses from either a male (Shade) or female (Flat) character, with the one not chosen afflicted with the curse.
Lele Village acts as the base, where the player can gather information, store items, change equipment, and enter one of three different dungeons.
Different types of job classes can be learned and equipped; while levels are reset upon entering a dungeon, job XP is cumulative, and when a job is maxed it can be equipped as a secondary sub class, allowing for significant strategy to character builds.
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 Treasure Gear 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 Treasure Gear 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.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Treasure Gear 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.
