The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

About

Take control of a fighter plane on a mission to destroy enemy targets of various sizes scattered across a peninsula. When you take down a major target, all of the minor targets around it will be destroyed with it. You get a bigger bonus from taking out the targets with fewer shots, so aim carefully!
