Is it still worth playing?

Treasure's first game, a 1993 run and gun for the Sega Genesis, sends two Gunstars, Red and Blue, to stop an evil empire from collecting four powerful gems. It scrolls sideways, played alone or with a partner, and has you shoot and pull off acrobatic moves against enemies. Four weapons can be combined into different shots. Of the seven stages the first four can be played in any order, and their formats vary: left to right, a mine cart along walls, a helicopter, even a board game. Stages that switch formats and weapons you can combine are still what keep it varied today.
