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

Sega Ages 2500 Series Vol. 10: After Burner II is a Shoot-'Em-Up game, developed by Sims and published by Sega. After Burner II is an upgrade of the original 1988 arcade release of After Burner II, being presented entirely in 3D. Aside from this, it is essentially the same as before but with extra options such as unlimited continues. There is an "arranged" mode which lets you play as different planes, but it does not significantly affect gameplay.
