Is it still worth playing?

Jason finds a tank named Sophia the 3rd and uses it to fight radioactive mutants across eight levels in search of his pet frog Fred. It is a 1988 platform and run and gun game for the Nintendo Entertainment System, known in Japan as Metafight. Play has two modes: in a side-view platform mode Jason is on foot or inside the tank, and in a top-down mode he explores labyrinths on foot. The tank's main cannon shoots up, left and right depending on its orientation, and three special weapons have limited ammunition that has to be found. The world is non-linear, so the player returns to earlier levels to advance. Exploring in two perspectives keeps its variety up, as it still does for players who try it.
