Is it still worth playing?

The martial artist Billy Lee or his twin brother Jimmy fights into the turf of the Black Warriors gang to rescue Billy's girlfriend, Marian, in this 1987 arcade beat 'em up. The world scrolls continuously from side to side, with a joystick and three buttons for kick, jump and punch. Moves range from basic punches and kicks to throws and elbow strikes. With a second player, one can grab an opponent from behind so the other attacks freely, though some enemies do the same to the players. The player has a number of extra lives and a life gauge that drops with each hit. Grabbing an enemy while a friend does the punching is still a teamwork move worth trying.
