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

Magical Taluluto-kun is a 1992 action game for the Sega Mega Drive by Sega and Game Freak to tie into Tatsuya Egawa's/Shueisha's Magical Taruruuto-kun manga, which had been recently turned into an anime by Toei Animation. C jumps; C in mid-air lunges forward. By default, B attacks. When standing next to an object, B will grab that object; B again throws it at enemies. Objects can only be used in the area they are found. You get a new magic power after every stage; hit Start to bring up a menu to choose one and A to use.
