Halls of Death
Commodore 64 · 1983
About this game
Halls of Death is an adventure game where you play the role of one of many explorers who have entered the caverns and rooms over many floors, searching for the treasure within, the only difference hopefully is that you make it out alive.
The screen is split into five different parts with two parts text, one a map of the floor you are on, your stats and finally what you can see in front off you or the creature you are fighting.

Starting at the bottom of some steps, you move around the map searching each room and text tells you what you see and how many turns you have taken.
As you explore, some rooms will have traps, some will have treasure and others will have a creature or monster that wants to fight you seen from the side.
You have a certain level of strength and psionics (magic) and you can either swing at the creature, retreat or use one of four spells which are sleep, teleportation, lighting and fireball.
Spells sometimes don't work and can sometimes rebound and hit yourself.
You both take it in turns to fight and it is game over if you lose all your strength.
You can move your different levels of strength and psionics between each other as you avoid either reaching zero.
Another level you have is constitution and this decreases as you explore further into the Halls of Death and so you need to return to the surface to rest.
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 Halls of Death 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 Halls of Death 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 1983.

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