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

Bomberman trades his top-down roots for side-scrolling platforming, blasting through stages and bosses with explosive flair.

About

Everyone is familiar with explosive hurling hero 'Bomberman' but this time he's back in a side-view platforming adventure on the Game Boy and Game Boy Color. Use your bombs to blast your way through each stage and overcome the boss battles at the end of each zone to reach your ultimate goal.
