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.

How it feels

A historically interesting but primitive attempt at three-dimensional movement, feeling like a clunky, basic tech demo from the early 80s.

This game represents one of the notable attempts to render depth and perspective within the constraints of home computing hardware from its era.
