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

Twice the Firepower, Twice the burn. If you haven’t played Super Turrican, chances are you won’t last past the intro sequence here... As an intergalactic hero-wannabe commissioned to crush a venomous mutant armada, you are thrust into a chaotic world even more violent than the original. This time there are more enemies to torch (and be torched by)-including the most heinous level bosses on 16-bit-and enough Mode7 graphic levels to make you wish mommy were there to hold your hand. But she’ll be busy cleaning up your charred carcass. Super Turrican 2. Feel the burn.
