Is it still worth playing?

Time Warp's 1987 platformer, from a West German studio for home computers such as the Commodore 64, Amiga and Atari ST. Giana, or her sister Maria in two player mode, explores a magical world inside a dream and has to find a giant diamond to wake up. You walk and jump through 33 horizontally scrolling levels, avoiding holes, nails, fire and monsters, with five lives and a 100 second limit on each level. Most enemies are beaten by jumping on them. Power ups include lightning and strawberry projectiles, clocks that put every enemy on screen to sleep, magic bombs that clear the screen and lollies that give an extra life. Every level is still a small dash against a running clock, in plain platforming.
