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.
How it feels
A fast-paced arcade shooter with 360-degree movement and retro presentation.

About
Tube Panic is a shooting game released by Nichibutsu in 1984. It is considered to be the first game circuit board to have a 3D rotation function. A mysterious tube net appears before the command ship Marcus as it cruises through space. Use 360° turning to battle enemy ships hiding in the depths of each stage, and face off with the mother ship's fleet waiting at the end.
