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 simple, customizable arcade tennis experience that feels easygoing and approachable rather than intense or dramatic.

About

Tennis anyone? V-Tennis features texture-mapped polygon players and nine different camera views to give you the best look of the court. Still don't like the perspective? Edit your own! Select from 16 players (eight males and eight females), four court surfaces, seven different court locations and nine different ball colors. Game modes include Doubles, Singles, and both Men's and Women's Tournaments. Matches can be adjusted from one to five sets and instant replay will let you see those aces in slow motion. A memory card is required to save Tournament progress.
