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 chaotic but lighthearted retro arcade shooter where you blast cartoonish monsters to save neighbors, best enjoyed with a friend.

What players say

Players are split on this port: some call it a faithful, functional revival with no issues, while others criticize lazy menus, changed music, screen tearing, and a clunky save system. The games themselves are still praised as fun and challenging, but Ghoul Patrol is widely panned as unfun.
