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

Classic 90's arcade racing with tough AI, split-screen multiplayer, and a mix of bright tracks from sand to space.

What players say

Players are split on World Racing '95. Some enjoy it as a cheap retro arcade racer, while many others are frustrated by the lack of control options, the car spinning out on any collision, and the repetitive or absent music. The game has no pause button and no achievements, and some note the developer later reduced collision penalties.
