Touch the Dead
Nintendo DS · 2007
About this game
Touch the Dead is a rail-shooter that uses the Nintendo DS touchscreen and stylus in substitution for a light gun.
The player takes on the role of Rob Steiner, a prisoner in the Ashdown Hole State Penitentiary, who wakes one night to find his cell open and a pistol conveniently nearby.

He shortly discovers that the prison is now overrun with zombies and his only way out is to shoot his way out.
To shoot an enemy, the player taps the stylus on the screen and it is possible to target different body parts.
Reloading is done through a clip in the bottom right hand corner, and the D-pad and face buttons are used to switch weapons.
Ammo and health is gathered by shooting crates and the levels feature certain forks with different level paths.
The available weapons are a handgun, shotgun, submachine gun and crowbar.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Touch the Dead for Nintendo DS 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 Touch the Dead 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 NDS release dates back to 2007.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Touch the Dead, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo DS 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.
