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 solid, no-frills stock car racer that feels like a celebratory tribute lap rather than a bold new experience.

About

This collector's edition celebrates the 50th anniversary of NASCAR. The game is completely identical to NASCAR 98, except that Darlington has been added to the list of tracks and the racing legend Richard Petty has been added to the driver's roster, along with the obvious cover art changes. The game also comes with a NASCAR 50th anniversary key chain.
