Tsumu
PlayStation
About this game
Japan-only 3D sokoban-style game, where a hamster with a forklift must move around and lift boxes.
Each box has a fragment of an animated image on one side, with the goal of each stage being to arrange the boxes in a marked location so that they form a complete animated image.

Stages have step limits, so the puzzles must be solved under a certain number of steps, except in the "freeplay mode", where puzzles can still be completed after exceeding the step limit.
The game also includes a stage editor to build custom puzzles.
On the back of the box, as well as in-game when starting the editor, there is a note announcing that users can send in their created stages, and the 100 best creations will be featured in Tsumu 2 (which does not exist under that name, but might be the sequel Tsumu Light).
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 Tsumu 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 Tsumu 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.

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