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

Sonic 1: The Super Challenges is a ROM hack of the original Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis. Unlike traditional hacks that focus on level redesigns, this project is built as a mission-based experience similar to the "Mission Mode" found in modern Sonic titles.
