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

NCAA FINAL FOUR 2001 has all the standard game modes including Exhibition, Season and Tournament modes, and it also tracks season stats for both players and teams. The game has almost every Division I men's college teams and sports a fair amount of women's squads as well. The game also features the Touch Shooting Meter, so players will have even more control over their jump shots. Quinn Buckner handles the announcing duties and the sound really manages to capture that college game feel. If you get tired of playing the computer you can always take on a friend in the versus mode and take him to school.
