Is it still worth playing?

You pilot a small spaceship named Monotros against various aliens in this 1989 arcade puzzle game, released only in Japan in July 1989. Claiming a section of the level sends the main enemy to the outside, and any smaller enemies left on the inside are killed for point bonuses. To complete a level the player has to claim at least 80 percent of its area. The other ways are to split the field between two main enemies, if there are two, or to defeat the main enemy with a weapon obtained as a power-up. Each level has a unique background and enemies. As areas are claimed, the cleared area shows the graphic of the next level. Carving up a screen while an alien hunts you is a simple idea, and the tension is still there.
