About this game

You play the role of a magician, who is called upon by the townspeople to defeat his ancient archrival Nemesis again.

After having defeated Nemesis in the past, his minions have erected a huge museleum in his honour, and as a result the townspeople are forced to live under a rule of horror.

You must once again venture into the catacombs, defeat Nemesis and free the townspeople.

Catacomb Abyss is a fantasy first-person shooter game.

Similarly to the previous game in the series , it casts you as a mage who can fight enemies and destroy whole sections of walls thanks to the use of fireballs.

You can find bolts and nukes, which make for more effective weapons but are one-use, healing potions, scrolls with hints, and keys.

However, unlike in Catacomb 3-D , where you spent the whole game inside a dungeon, here you'll explore various environments, both indoors and outdoors.

There are new enemies to face, such as zombies that come from under the ground or skeletons that come out of walls.

New to the game is a radar which shows you the location of foes.

However, you have to find gems of various colours to use it effectively; each gem allows you to see a specific type of enemy on the radar.

There isn't a compass in the game, but various areas of the maps still have specific names.

About Game Boy

The original Game Boy (1989) proved that handheld gaming didn't need cutting-edge graphics to succeed — its monochrome screen and legendary battery life, combined with Tetris as a pack-in, made it a cultural phenomenon. Game Boy cartridges are famously durable, so this remains one of the more accessible retro platforms to collect, though translucent color variants and complete-in-box copies with the original brick-sized manual add real value for condition-focused collectors.

Gamevaro tracks Abyss for Game Boy 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 Abyss 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 GB release dates back to 2025.

Rarity & condition

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

What's the difference between loose, CIB and sealed for Abyss?
