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 methodical real-time strategy game where you manage fleets and expand territory in space, with tense large-scale battles and a classic, competitive feel.

What players say

Players praise the unique supply system and multi-map wormhole design but warn that it needs a third-party audio patch and has a graphics and interface that feel dated. Fans call it a memorable classic, though many admit they play it out of nostalgia rather than for modern RTS quality.
