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 flight sim where you both pilot through dangerous stunts and direct Hollywood-style action films, blending tense flying with creative movie-making.

What players say

Players praise the original game's mix of stunt flying and movie editing, but are frustrated that this 2018 release is a bare DOSBox port with the 1992 copy protection still intact, forcing them to search a PDF manual for passwords at every launch. A few find it a cheap alternative to modern simulators, while others call it unplayable.
