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 meticulously detailed naval combat collection that feels like commanding a fleet through sprawling historical and hypothetical engagements, with patient, tactical pacing.

What players say

Players nostalgic for the 1990s series appreciate the compilation, but note dated graphics and clunky interface. Some report the scenario editor does not work on 64-bit systems, and there are bugs with time acceleration. Reviews split between fond memories and frustration with broken features.
