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

Based on the famous movie series of the same name about good boxer Rocky Balboa (played by Sylvester Stallone). The boxing simulator game has several modes, including Movie Mode, Exhibition and Knockout Tournament. In Movie Mode you can follow the movie series, starting each part with three minor opponents and finishing the big boss in the end. Each character has personal weaknesses. Also you can train Rocky prior to each fight.
