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.

What players say

Polyphony Digital's lone non-racing game, a fast 360-degree mecha rail-shooter with Macross-style designs and a graphics engine considered among the PS1's best. A poorly-marketed sleeper hit, fondly remembered as a niche cult favorite that was too short to break out.
