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 precise and high-speed fighter jet simulation that demands careful control and situational awareness.

What players say

Players call this a faithful re-release of a 90s combat sim, not a modern reimagining. It includes four theaters and the Afghanistan add-on. Most praise the solid sim foundation, though some note the advertised dynamic campaign is misleading. Control setup is expected, and a few report keyboard or stutter issues in DOSBox.
