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 methodical and complex grand strategy game where you manage empires, design ships, and compete for galactic dominance with careful planning.

What players say
Players say this 1995 4X game is best approached as a historical curiosity or nostalgia trip, not a modern strategy title. The UI is clunky, tactical combat suffers from glitches that can freeze the game, and the AI is easily beaten after the first few playthroughs. Some players recommend Space Empires IV or V instead for a better experience.
