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

An updated version of Ridge Racer for the PlayStation, included as a bonus disc alongside Ridge Racer Type 4, and as a limited promotional release in some territories. Unlike the original 1994 PlayStation release, this runs at 60 fps, features higher quality polygonal models and utilises Gouraud shaded textures.
