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

Pocket Monster is an unlicensed platformer based off the Pokémon series for the Mega Drive and SNES. Like the Famicom pirate, players control Pikachu through numerous side-scrolling levels with a boss at the end of each. Although some of the enemies encountered are Pokémon such as Beedrill, Porygon and Diglett, the others are taken from Magical Taluluto-kun, Syd of Valis, and Super Metroid with different palettes.
