It's available for SNES only (as far as I know) and is written/distributed
by HudsonSoft. I've seen it available in some local places according to
their software list, but havn't seen the actual game yet.

Do you mean like first-person 3D (Doom-esque) or the parallax scrolling type,
or both in the same game. For instance, use the TurboKat in the parallax
scrolling type portion in a "Defender" or "1942" clone, then switch to 1st
person when doing paw-to-paw combat.

nothing to do with Kats anymore and it's become kinda Taboo around TPS,
why would he really care?
