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 racing game, in a similar vain to Mario Kart, using Jim Henson's Muppets as characters. It was developed by Traveller's Tales and published by Midway.

What players say

A Muppet-flavored kart racer with light Micro Machines-style handling and plenty of charm, held back by twitchy controls and frame-rate dips. Seen as a better-than-average licensed kart effort but no Crash Team Racing.
