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

Sporting game developers at Hot-B deliver this urban racing game for the PlayStation. Players will pilot as many as 31 different vehicles as they work through 13 high-energy, high-stakes missions. A variety of strategies can be used to complete missions, some of which focus on speed and precision while others require banging, bumping, and violent crashes. Players may want to tune up their vehicles between missions, adjusting suspension, brakes, tires, and acceleration for spot-on performance.
