Is it still worth playing?

A side scrolling action adventure developed by Core Design and published by THQ in 2000 for the Game Boy Color, also known as Tomb Raider: The Nightmare Stone. It was the series' first game on Nintendo hardware. Lara Croft crosses ruins in South America to stop a group of treasure hunters from taking the Nightmare Stone, a key capable of releasing the evil god Quaxet. There are 14 levels spread across five areas, each asking you to solve puzzles, jump over obstacles and defeat enemies. Lara can perform up to 25 moves, including ledge grabbing, backflips and cliff diving. Over two thousand animations were rendered from the home console originals, and her model is 48 pixels tall. Grabbing ledges and leaping gaps in a side view still turns each tomb into a careful climb.
