Is it still worth playing?

An anonymous ninja is sent into a warehouse to steal a floppy disk with the names of rebel leaders in this stealth action adventure, created by Clive Townsend in 1985 for several 8 bit home computers. The disk lies in a complex of rooms that includes the warehouse, dark tunnels and a secret command center, and the ninja then has to escape. An energy bar drops from falling too far, crouching under water or being attacked, and the game ends if it empties or time runs out. Standing still in a safe area refills it. The saboteur can crouch, climb ladders, run, punch and drop-kick, and he starts with a single shuriken and can use improvised weapons such as bricks and pieces of pipe. A ninja sneaking through a warehouse is a premise that still carries.
