Is it still worth playing?

Climax Entertainment's 1992 isometric action role playing game for the Sega Genesis, about Nigel, a treasure hunter searching for the legendary treasure of King Nole. Friday, a wood nymph, travels with him throughout. Nigel walks, jumps, climbs, picks up and throws objects and swings a sword, and swords have elemental effects and can be charged for stronger attacks. The dungeons are where all of that is put to use: jumps between platforms, switches, movable blocks and puzzles built on the isometric view itself. Nothing casts a shadow, though, so some jumps are hard to judge. Hidden around the world, about 75 Life Stocks raise your maximum health and send you back through areas already cleared. A world built to be looked at from every angle still rewards a careful player today.
