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
Playing Bandit Kings of Ancient China feels like orchestrating a rebellion through careful planning and resource management in a historical setting.

What players say
Players say this is a faithful emulation of the 1989 PC-9801 original, down to disk-swap saves and tenkey-only controls. Many call it a classic, but split on whether the dated UI and Japanese-only text are acceptable, with several asking for an English version or QoL updates.
