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.

A relentless, high-pressure arcade shoot-em-up where you must carefully balance enemy avoidance with fuel conservation.

About

Super Cobra is a shooting game released by Konami in 1981. The player's goal is to fly their helicopter all the way to the enemy base that appears at the end and claim the spoils of war. Be careful not just of enemies as you progress through the game, but also of your fuel level, or you might crash and burn.
