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

Taisen Bakudan Poi Poi: Sometime in the year 20XX, a super computer goes awry and ordinary citizens are recruited into a virtual world where everyone hefts massive bombs. Once hefted, bombs may be hurled at opponents in a frenetic blast 'em up. Run around the digital landscape, gather a bomb and then time your attacks against roving combatants while being pursued by other bomb toting miscreants.
