Is it still worth playing?

A runaway carrier of nuclear missiles is leaking radiation, and your demolition team has to clear its path, in this 1997 action game for the Nintendo 64. You drive eight vehicles, among them a bulldozer that rams, a dump truck that drifts, a motorcycle that shoots missiles and three robot mechs. Puzzles come from switching between vehicles and machinery to carry timed explosive crates and bridge gaps. The game has 57 levels seen from a three quarters overhead view, and the carrier fails if it collides with anything. An arrow and a radar show where to go, but the solution is never handed over. Collectibles, time trials and training levels sit beside the main missions. Every stage still asks you to work out which machine to use and when to swap it.
