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

Sitting at a colonial-era map table, you methodically expand and negotiate while rivals circle like cautious foxes.

What players say

Players love this 1996 turn-based strategy classic for its simple city building and exploration, but many report it is broken on modern systems, frequent battle crashes and DOSBox compatibility issues make it unplayable for some.
