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 frantic, score-chasing arcade blitz where you dash through waves of aliens for quick combo bursts.

What players say

Players describe it as a puzzle-like action game with instant teleport movement and three-minute rounds. The original PC-8001 version crashes on game over, but the arranged versions and turn-based mode are well-liked. Controller support works with the d-pad, and players find it addictively replayable.
