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

Medal City is a card game for the Sega Mega Drive, released exclusively in Japan in 1991 via the Sega Game Toshokan service. You choose between three gambling games; Poker, Blackjack, and Slots. The goal of each game (besides poker) is to earn over 100,000 medals. You will then see the game's ending (except poker, as the game never ends).
