About this game
Blupimania is an isometric action puzzle game featuring Epsitec 's trademark yellow egg-shaped characters called "Blupi".
The objective of each level is to guide Blupi safely to the exit, marked by a purple balloon that takes Blupi to the next stage.

To this end, the player can manipulate the game environment in many ways, placing or removing objects, and in some cases, controlling Blupi directly, although by default, the characters roam the level on their own.
In a way, the game is similar to Lemmings , but the amount of objects and Blupi's abilities makes it much more complex, allowing for rather intricate situations for the player to solve.
The game is split into four sets of levels with puzzles of increasing difficulty.
The first part is essentially a set of tutorial levels that gradually introduce the player to the various in-game objects and playing concepts.
In addition, there is a built-in level editor that allows users to create and play their own puzzles.
Blupimania was originally sold as shareware, with the unregistered version offering a few puzzles from each difficulty setting.
The full game contains over 150 puzzles.
About Sega Saturn
The Sega Saturn (1994/1995) struggled commercially against the PlayStation despite strong 2D capabilities and a library beloved by shoot-'em-up and RPG fans. Its relatively low sales translated directly into low print runs for many games, making the Saturn one of the more expensive retro platforms to collect completely — several titles now sell for hundreds of euros in good condition.
Gamevaro tracks Lupin the 3rd: The Master File for Sega Saturn 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 Lupin the 3rd: The Master File 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 SAT release dates back to 1996.

Rarity & condition
Lupin the 3rd: The Master File 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.
