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 fast-paced, arcade-style shooter with smooth graphics and rewarding upgrade progression that keeps you engaged in relentless combat.

What players say

Players say this DOSBox wrapper of the 1994 original works well, but controller support is broken so keyboard is a must. The game is short with uneven difficulty and no new weapons in the final sector, but fans of the shareware days appreciate the nostalgia.
