Is it still worth playing?

Factor 5's run and gun game from 1991 for the Amiga and later released on many other systems, with a re-release on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch in 2020. It has huge, detailed labyrinth levels and a morph ball function. The game is divided into five worlds across eleven levels, each with its own themed music by Chris Huelsbeck, plus a final showdown with a boss known as The Machine. On the Amiga there is a music menu, opened with the Space Bar, where all the in game music can be listened to. Every world is still a place to explore and to listen to, with big labyrinth levels and a score of their own.
