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

Super Metroid Redux is an improvement hack for Super Metroid, and a continuation of Super Metroid: GBA Style. This hack aims to give Super Metroid a whole lot of improvements, being it graphical or in mechanics/gameplay, and address some of the annoyances from the original, such as increasing the speed of elevator transitions, improved weapon selection, the diagonal aiming style from Metroid: Zero Mission, and the additional option for widescreen (specific emulators only).
