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

Flying the F-117A feels like a tense, methodical challenge in a retro simulation with a focus on stealth and precision.

What players say

Players emphasize that this is an emulated NES game, not the original PC flight sim many expected. Some find the music irritating and recommend disabling it, while others appreciate the legal means to play the ROM with a simple menu.
