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, challenging retro shooter with tight controls and intense sci-fi action.

What players say

Players praise this as one of the best R-Type games, with strategic depth from the dose meter and adjustable speed. But they are split on the port: some call it faithful and responsive, while others report missing enemies, limited graphics options, no CRT filter, and sound or music bugs.
