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.

How it feels

You juggle commander and pilot duties in a demanding, uneven flight sim that feels weighty and cerebral rather than arcade-action.

What players say

Players say this Steam release of a 1995 flight sim is poorly optimized, running at 4 fps in a tiny DOS box with the dynamic music stripped out. Without dosbox knowledge, it is unplayable on modern PCs, and the price feels like a cash grab.
