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 collection of three classic 8-bit action games with save and rewind functions, offering a straightforward, nostalgic challenge from the 1980s.

What players say

Players praise the emulation quality, CRT filter, gallery, and rewind feature that makes the hard games beatable. They are split on value since only three games are included, and they call the price too high. The Wing of Madoola is singled out as frustrating and buggy, while Ripple Island gets less play. Later updates added English translations, pleasing backers.
