Is it still worth playing?

Data East's 1994 sports arcade game for the Neo Geo, in which players keep throwing a flying disc at the opponent's goal zone, against the computer or in two player versus. You choose one of six characters, each with their own speed and power ratings and special throws. On your side of the court you move in eight directions, catching the disc and throwing it back, and stopping it only takes a touch, walking into it or diving for it with a button. Each rally speeds up. The disc generally gets faster with every throw until someone scores, and then the referee serves it to the player who was scored on. Where it lands counts too: yellow goal zones are worth three points and red ones five. A rally that gets faster with every throw still makes each point a test of reflexes today.
