Is it still worth playing?

Humans live alongside intelligent robots called Reploids in the setting of this 1995 platformer for the Super Nintendo, known as Rockman X3 in Japan. Some of them turn to destructive crime and are labeled Mavericks. The player controls X through eight selectable stages full of obstacles, traps and enemy robots. Each stage ends with a Maverick boss, and beating it adds a new special weapon. Every boss is especially weak to one weapon, so the stages can be done in an order that exploits this. X can run, jump, dash, cling to and climb most walls and fire his chargeable X-Buster arm cannon. Armor parts for the head, body, legs and X-Buster are found in capsules and upgrade his abilities. Clinging to walls while charging a shot is still a way of fighting worth trying.
