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.

A clever Sonic 1 ROM hack where your mouse pointer becomes a tool to manipulate the world around Sonic.

About

In this unique, gimmick-based ROM Hack of Sonic The Hedgehog, you can use your mouse pointer to interact with objects in a variety of ways. Hovering over Rings to magnetize them to Sonic, picking up & throwing monitors to break them apart, & clicking on springs to bounce the cursor away are just a few ways you can interact with the world around you. Be careful though, not everything you mouse over or click will be so friendly to you.
