About this game
Spectre is a 3D shooter where the player drives a little red car/tank and blasts away enemies.
The gameplay is similar to Battlezone , and obviously inspired by it.

There is a selection of three tanks, each with three values (speed; armor; and firepower) balanced out to match its name: Tough Guy is heavy on armor, but slow and not very powerful; Speedy is fast, but low armor; and Balanced combines both strengths, but decreased.
A fourth tank allows the player to design a custom variant.
Every level consists of a large plane filled with enemy tanks, several psychedelic walls with odd images that often flicker or warp resembling an acid trip, and tacky 3D models like windmills.
The object of each level is to either destroy all the enemy tanks in the level, or to collect all the flags.
Every level has a certain theme to it, anything from plain green to a colorful blinking eye or images of sand dunes are to be found on the walls, windmills and flags throughout the level.
With every passing level, enemy tanks grow smarter and their rates of fire increases.
Also in later levels, new, smarter, more powerful enemy tanks join the skirmish.
The player has a limited amount of ammo, but driving over ammo deposits replenishes a small amount of ammunition, as well as driving over shield deposits grants additional shields.
The three different views (first, third, and top-down) allow the player to incorporate additional strategies into the battles.
The game boasts having supposedly an infinite amount of levels, though anything after level 80 is almost instant death.
A high score table is also included.
An additional note-worthy feature of this game is the multi-player mode.
Up to eight players are supported over IPX, or NetBios (or two via modem or serial port).
The network option offers three Cyberspace Scenarios: 1.
Arena - free-for-all battles, get one point for each opponent destroyed. 2.
Flag Rally - a match point given for collecting six flags, destroy someone to get any flag
About Super Nintendo Entertainment System
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (1990/1991) is widely regarded as home to one of the strongest first-party libraries in gaming history, from Super Metroid to Chrono Trigger. It's a mature collecting market: iconic RPGs and late-cycle releases (which typically had smaller print runs as the industry moved toward the next generation) are consistently among the most sought-after and valuable cartridges from the 16-bit era.
Gamevaro tracks Spectre for Super Nintendo Entertainment System 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 Spectre 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 SNES release dates back to 1994.

Market insights
Rarity & condition

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.
