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

Released in 1990 for MS-DOS, *Big Blue Disk #49* is the forty-ninth entry in the series of magazines dedicated to sharing home computer software. The title functions as a compilation disk rather than a single standalone application with its own specific gameplay or narrative elements provided by these facts.
