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

Arkanoid is back to fight the evil occult powers in: Arkanoid VS the Occult Every screen is more or less connected to occult symbolism (or conspiracies). Some of the symbols are quite distorted due to the limitations of blocks per screen The game now has black blocks (instead of cyan) which do not exist in the original version The balancing between the stages is a bit wonky, but all stages are completable. Easy mode recommended Startscreen by Svambo (thx a lot!) Full 99 level romhack (just the boss stages weren’t edited)
