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: WTF LAME is Joke ROM hack of the original Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis. While it largely plays like the original game, it is designed as a technical troll that is impossible to beat normally. The hack introduces special "WTF LAME monitors" which, when broken, trigger a high-quality PCM sample of the Benny Hill theme.
