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

In this version there are also women teams, which look different but play the same. In-game commentary is provided by Alan Green, Barry Venison and Helen Chamberlain. Animation includes 200,000 frames. Internet play was offered by Dreamarena. There is an Arcade mode including game styles such as Time Attack and a Survival knock-out tournament. Traditional mode gives you league competitions and the full World Cup.
