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 FOOTBALL '98 gives those of us who never attended Florida State or Michigan the complete college football experience. Play modes include Exhibition, Tournament, Great Games, Season, Practice, and Dynasty. You get 112 Division I-A teams and their stadiums, so you'll likely find your favorite major college team on the roster. The most exciting feature is a Dynasty mode that allows you to take a college team through multiple seasons. While the game does your recruiting for you, you can specify what types of players you need to bolster your team. If you're having a hard time finding a specific type of player, play, or team, you can take advantage of the Create-A-Player, Create-A-Play, or Create-A-School features. Now you can know the feeling of being in a bowl game playing in front of 10,000 fans, thanks to NCAA FOOTBALL '98.
