Is it still worth playing?

Intelligent Systems' 2003 turn based strategy game for the Game Boy Advance, in which the Allied Nations fight a returning Black Hole army under the commander Sturm in Macro Land. You win by defeating all enemy troops or capturing the enemy headquarters, or by completing special objectives in some campaign maps. Missions are chosen nonlinearly across five continents, each focused on one of the five countries. The CO Meter has small and large stars: filling the small ones triggers a regular CO Power, and filling the large ones a Super CO Power that drains the meter. New are eight commanding officers, the Neotank, a Missile Silo that foot troops can fire for area damage and a Pipeline that acts as an impassable wall. A meter that offers a small power often or a super power later makes you choose when to spend it, and every battle today carries that choice.
