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
You plummet into claustrophobic mines, frantically blasting robots while spinning in full 3D as a thumping industrial soundtrack drives the chaos.

What players say
Players love the gameplay and soundtrack, but say the Steam version is overpriced for a 30-year-old game running in DOSBox with no updates. Many recommend using the free D2X-XL or Descent2Rebirth source ports instead. The difficulty spikes and the disorienting six degrees of freedom can cause motion sickness.
