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 sparse, methodical game of careful turns and simple visuals that feels like a primitive precursor to more polished strategy titles.

About

Released in 1983 for the Commodore 64, *Worms?* is an early video title sharing its name with a later franchise featuring turn-based strategy elements. As one of the earliest examples using this specific branding on the platform, it stands as a historical entry from that era.
