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.

What players say

Players describe Combat Wings as an old arcade-style flight game with simple, repetitive missions that take about 5-10 minutes each. It has goofy voice acting and a samey soundtrack, and some note enemies focus only on the player while friendly AI barely helps. A common technical complaint is that the game crashes on startup unless the movies folder is deleted.
