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

Welcome to BattleBots, the sport of remote-controlled robotic combat. Based on the popular television series, you build your own customized, radio-controlled robots that employ an array of destructive weaponry such as hammers, saws and spikes. Watch the sparks fly as you duke it out in deadly arenas against your friends or one of the 16 actual BattleBots from the T.V. show. This is the ultimate contest of strategy and creativity where the goal is survival.
