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.

How it feels

A breezy trip through classic arcade cabinets, mixing quick pick-up-and-play fun with a few obscure, trickier surprises for those who dig deeper.

About

The third PlayStation volume contains: Galaxian (1979) Ms. Pac-Man (1981) Dig Dug (1982) Phozon (1983) Pole Position II (1983) The Tower of Druaga (1984) The majority of the included games were well-known worldwide but Phozon and The Tower of Druaga were relatively unknown. Two unique versions of The Tower of Druaga were also hidden in this volume: one called "Another Tower", and the other called "Darkness Tower". Both are harder than the original and require different methods to beat the game.
