Is it still worth playing?

LucasArts' 1995 point and click adventure for MS-DOS and Mac OS, in which a five person crew flies the Space Shuttle Atlantis to plant explosives on an asteroid on a collision course with Earth. You play Commander Boston Low. You use the mouse cursor to look at, interact with and talk to people, objects and parts of the environment, and items are collected into an inventory and used to solve puzzles. It runs on the SCUMM engine. A minigame called Asteroid Lander, in the style of Lunar Lander, is accessible from the communicator menu. It is easy to approach even now, because each puzzle is a matter of what to carry where, with items you collect and use on the environment.
