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

Astérix was developed by Bit Managers and Infogrames for a number of different consoles. It was based after the comic book series Asterix, which maintained a high level of popularity in Europe, but never took off in North America. For this reason, the game was only released in PAL format, and was never released in North America.
