Dragon Breed
Commodore 64 · 1989
About this game
The player's character is a human who rides a large, green, flying Chinese-style dragon.
The dragon is invincible, capable of blocking most enemy projectiles and damaging enemies on contact; the human, however, is not, but is armed with a forward-firing crossbow.

The dragon's body is flexible and responds to the player's movement, enabling the player to use the dragon as a mobile shield or as a whip-like weapon.
You can also circle the tail around a group of enemies to kill them.
The tail of the yellow or blue dragon can be coiled around the player to offer almost complete invulnerability for a limited time.
The dragon can also spit fireballs.
By holding the fire button down, the dragon will build up fire in its mouth; the longer the button is held down, the more powerful the fireball will be.
There are four levels of fireball power; at its strongest, the fireball resembles a dragon's head.
The game also contains some platforming elements - the human is able to dismount on horizontal platforms.
Power-ups can be acquired by shooting small green dragons that appear intermittently throughout the levels, or they can be collected from the ground on foot.
There are four different power-ups, each of which provides a different weapon to the dragon.
Collecting multiple power-ups of the same colour makes that weapon more powerful.
The dragon changes colour depending upon which power-up has been collected.
Red enables the dragon to breathe a flame.
The flame gets longer if more power-ups are collected.
Yellow enables the dragon's body to fire crescents in all directions.
White enables the dragon to produce up to four miniature dragons, which home in on enemies.
Blue enables the dragon to fire downward bolts of electricity from its underside.
About Commodore 64
Released in 1982, the Commodore 64 is the best-selling home computer model of all time, with an enormous software library spanning games, productivity tools, and everything in between. C64 game collecting centers on cassette tapes and floppy disks in their original packaging — physical media that's inherently fragile, so complete, working copies from the era are increasingly prized by retro computing collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Dragon Breed for Commodore 64 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 Dragon Breed 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 C64 release dates back to 1989.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Dragon Breed, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Commodore 64 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.
