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 breezy 90s arcade motocross romp where you race tight circuits, pull stunts for points, and try to outpace seven rivals or a friend on the couch.

About

The first motocross game on PlayStation, VMX Racing features eight 125cc and 250cc bikes competing in four single-player circuits: Enduro, National, Supercross, and Full. After selecting a bike, each individually rated in acceleration, braking, throttle, and speed, you'll compete on one of six courses against seven computer-controlled riders. Earn points by performing an assortment of stunts or by achieving a first-place finish. VMX Racing also includes head-to-head racing against a friend on either a horizontal or vertical split-screen display.
