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

It feels like a straightforward arcade shooter where you pilot World War II planes through fast dogfights and bombing runs.

What players say

Players describe Ace Pilot Europe as a short arcade flight game with 10 missions across Europe. It is single-player only and offers multiple aircraft types to bomb trains and dogfight. The graphics remind some of classic 1990s games and Touhou Project. Players say it is simple yet can be challenging, a decent budget buy for an evening.
