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
Blast enemies from a first-person cockpit then switch to side-scrolling shoot-em-up for planetary assault missions.

About
A starfighter emulation game with a first-person cockpit view, like Wing Commander. Certain portions of the game require assaults on the enemy's planetary bases. These segments are played as 2D side scrolling shoot-em-ups, like R-Type.
