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

SM64 The Dark Stars is a ROM hack created by Caasje, with 75 Stars and 10 main courses. This hack is fairly challenging with a wide variety of missions set to hard difficulty until the later courses become much more puzzling and trickier. The courses don't have a special Star requiring to collect 100 coins, in addition, there are extra content such as hidden signs, shortcuts, and secret endings to find as a case of easter eggs.
