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 classic turn-based tactical RPG adventure with party management and exploration in a fantasy world.

What players say

Players are split: nostalgia runs deep, but the emulation choices frustrate many. The collection uses DOS CGA versions for games 1 and 3, and an Apple II emulator for game 2, which players call an ugly downgrade from their preferred C64, Amiga, or Atari ST originals. Character transfer between games is broken, and some report corrupt saves in the third game.
