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

a frantic, high-octane scramble where survival is the only objective as you blast opponents in a combat arena.

What players say

Players praise the original concept of mixing vehicular combat with on-foot action, but the re-release does nothing to modernize the game. Controls are keyboard-only and janky, there is no widescreen or mouse support, and bugs near the end can block progress. Longtime fans are split between nostalgic enjoyment and frustration over the lazy port.
