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.

A fast-paced arcade flight game with intense dogfighting over the English countryside during World War II.

What players say

Players praise the arcade-style dogfighting and accessible controls, calling it a fun nostalgic title from City Interactive. The campaign is short with zero filler, but some find it repetitive. Controls are mouse and keyboard only, joystick support is missing, and multi-monitor setups need a workaround. A community widescreen patch is required for proper display.
