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

This is no amateur hour. This one's for keeps. The national finals. Will you play tough enough to hear the umpire call "point, set, match!" A million eyes bore into you from the stands. Moments to start... RACKET ATTACK has made you a pro, the toughest, most awesome champ ever to hit center court. You've a power serve and a ferocious backhand. You're fearsome at the net and in the backcourt. On clay or grass you attack. But your opponent knows your game. And he's ready. Screams go up as you step to the base line. It's 100 degrees. Your service. You launch it like a rocket. Ace... Let... Fault! The umpires' call reminds you to hang tough and be consistent. 15 love... 30 love... 40 love... MATCH POINT. Sweating, you grip your racket. The crowd hushes. Can you deliver an ace? Bear down. Psych up. Get tough!
