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 praise the timeless gameplay, variety of generals, and the mod community that keeps the game alive, but many note it needs GenPatcher for fixes. Save game bugs and poor network play are common complaints, and some question the price for such an old title.
