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

Sangokushi Retsuden: Ransei no Eiyuu-tachi is a 1991 simulation game by Sega released in Japan — and China, where it was called San Guo Zhi Lie Zhuan: Luan Shi Qun Ying. Whether or not the game has any connections to Koei, who makes the most popular games based around China's Three Kingdoms time periods, is unknown.
