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.

About

If you have blinding quickness and nerves of steel, Apocalypse II may be your ultimate test. Challenge yourself with this Arcade Shooter from Europe. The Graphics Look Sharp and add to the Sci-Fi feel and theme. The game uses Mode 7 to scale the enemies pushing the hardware limitations of the Super Nintendo. The game was going to be released in 1995, being already licensed by Nintendo, but ended up unreleased until 2015, when Piko Interactive published it.
