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
Channeling retro arcade chaos and exaggerated nerd rage, this is a frantic pixel art platformer where you blast through zombie-filled levels with over-the-top action.

What players say
Players are split. Fans say it captures the Nerd's chaotic spirit with fun and frustration, but many call it a step down from earlier entries. Complaints center on cheap level design, limited invincibility leading to chain hits, and the removal of a promised NES ROM file.
