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

In the year 2062, Earth-based mechanic Tadashi and his girlfriend discover a mech from a war eight years prior with an ominous message stored in its memory suggesting Earth is in danger. They travel to nearby space stations and colonies to investigate its origins. Featuring redrawn graphics, scenes that had been cut for lack of storage space, and different music than the original, the Director's Cut of Metal Slader Glory was the final officially released game for the Super Famicom.
