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

The Batman returns on Game Boy Color with BATMAN: Total Chaos in Gotham City. Based on the popular animated BATMAN series, this single-player action game allows you to don the cowl of one of two Bat-heroes: Batman or Batgirl. Some of the Dark Knight's famous arch-villains have escaped and are causing serious trouble in Gotham, and it's up to you to put them back where they belong. Everyone from Poison Ivy to the Clown Prince of Crime the Joker himself is here to wreak havoc and keep the caped crusader busy. Grab your utility belt and assault 18 stages of varied action that take you on a tour of Gotham City. Much of the action is played from a side-scrolling perspective, but some levels have you taking out the Batmobile or the Batcycle in overhead high-speed excitement. Naturally, Batman and Batgirl are both packing their usual assortment of weapons and tools including the Batarang, the grappling hook, smoke bombs, and more.
