Impossamole

For Monty Mole, a day at the beach turns into the adventure of his life when he's beamed aboard an alien spacecraft.

He's transformed into Impossamole, with super powers to save their planet from the evil Vlarg! Now you're up to your cape in Vlarg's monster bosses with crack-up creatures ready to nail your tail! Power up your laser to blast the Dragon Boss.

Known as the PC Engine in Japan, the TurboGrafx-16 (1989) punched well above its small form factor but never found a large audience in North America, leading to one of the smallest console libraries of its generation in the West. That limited Western release makes complete, boxed TurboGrafx-16 games some of the scarcer finds in retro console collecting today.

Gamevaro tracks Impossamole for TurboGrafx-16 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 Impossamole 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 TG16 release dates back to 1990.

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Impossamole, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common TurboGrafx-16 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.
