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

Raise your sails and rouse your crew. It's time to discover new lands on the first commodities trading game for GameBoy Advance. Captain your own ship, with a band of wacky sailors at your command. Become the supreme Sea Trader as you trade in silk, grain, currency and black market goods to increase your wealth. Fight off pirates when they try to steal your goods, or even attack other ships to plunder their spoils. And when you're victorious, carousing is optional.
