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.

How it feels

A rough-edged off-road racer where you bash through dirt courses against AI rivals to blaring hard rock, feeling more functional than flashy.

About

TNN Motorsports Hardcore 4x4 is an off road racing game. You drive a 4x4 like a Jeep or pickup truck around cross-country loops and attempt to get to the finish line first. There are three race types. In single race mode you participate in only one race on a track of your choice against 5 other competitors. Championship allows you to race through all 6 courses in a row in an attempt to win a hidden truck. Time trial lets up to 8 players compete round-robin style for the fast lap time around a track. This game utilizes 3D environments and truck models. The sound track features hard rock music.
