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

Exciting billiards action comes to the Game Boy Color with PRO POOL. Play a match against the computer or a friend, or play the Single-Player Speed Match and try to clear all of the balls off of the table as quickly as possible. In Hustle mode, you take the role of a pool hustler, traveling from bar to bar placing bets on games. Ultimately, you want to win enough money to buy your own bar. In all of these modes, six different games can be played: 8 Ball, 9 Ball, 6 Ball, 3 Ball, straight pool, and speed pool. And the competition will never get stale thanks to the 64 different computer opponents to play. Plus, an outstanding physics engine makes this the most realistic pool game available for the Game Boy Color. Try to become a great hustler with PRO POOL.
