Is it still worth playing?

A 1987 arcade dodgeball game in which teams of seven, a large captain and six smaller players, take the court. The captain and three others play on the main court, and the other three stand on the sidelines around the opposing team. The aim is to eliminate that team by hitting its members with the ball, and each member is usually out after three or four shots, shown on a life bar. Once out, a player turns into a cartoon angel and flies off the top of the screen. The team that keeps at least one member wins, or the one with the most survivors if time runs out. Its controls are two buttons, whose roles change depending on whether you hold the ball. Fast, simple matches still suit a game with a friend today.
