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

A compilation of the successful side-scrolling arcade games as a result of the series 10th anniversary. A upgraded PS4 version with trophy support and 1080p visuals was launched July 5th 2016 as part of the PS2-PS4 program.

What players say

A relentless, screen-filling run-and-gun collection that's pure hyperactive arcade madness with one-hit deaths and gorgeous, characterful sprite work; celebrated as the godfather of hardcore arcade shooters and some of the best run-and-gun action ever.
