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

Tel-Tel Mahjong is a Sega Mega Drive Mahjong video game that was released exclusively in Japan in 1990. Part of the Tel-Tel series that included Tel-Tel Stadium, it was one of the few games that used the Mega Modem, allowing for two-player games via the Sega Net Work System. Up to three players can play the "host" player in addition to being able to play against computer opponents.
