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 slow-paced, methodical turn-based space conquest game where you manage diplomacy, exploration, and fleet building across star systems.

What players say
Players describe Space Empires I as a bare-bones prototype for Space Empires II, not a complete game. It has no AI, no tutorial, and several report it crashes on modern Windows. Reviews split: some see it as historical curiosity, others call it unplayable without friends in hot-seat.
