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

Battle Kart 64 is a rom hack by Triclon for Mario Kart 64 that brings new features and options to the game’s Battle Mode. It is console compatible (note: Expansion Pak required). New Game Modes: - “Hot Potato” featuring a timer on whoever was hit last and counts down to zero. Whoever is the “hot potato” when the timer reaches zero loses 1 HP. - “Squish” where you need to hit, lightning shrink, and then run over the shrunken player to score. - “Capture The Flag” where you must capture a flag and bring it back to your base to score. - “Keep Away” where there is one flag to fight over and each player must try to hold onto it as long as possible. Plus new scoring options, AI bots, item toggling, the original 16 race courses playable in battle mode and much more. It is still being actively developed with new modes and options planned.
