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

A ROM hack of Super Metroid that turns the game into a replayable "arcade" game with kills based points as you go through random rooms and try to rack up a highscore. Multiple difficulties are offered, and it can be played with a time limit, endlessly, or to a set number of rooms cleared.
