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 breakneck, high-speed arcade racer that throws you into chaotic podracing with tight controls and a classic Star Wars pulse-pounding feel.

What players say

Players are split between nostalgia for the classic N64 racer and frustration with this buggy port. It often crashes on launch or during races, has no split-screen or proper controller support, and the physics break at high framerates, requiring community patches to play correctly.
