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 trying times like these, the world needs a hero! Blockman is back in an all new adventure! Return to the skies and take down a new threat and restore peace and order to the ski resort! Blockman 1989 is a direct sequel to the cult favorite, Blockman 1988. Play as John Q. Blockman - the 'Q' stands for 'Qube' - and take down a new terrorist threat that's cutting into his vacation. Buy upgrades and expand your arsenal, and get creative with your kills. Blockman 1989 is a platformer made for the retro enthusiast, with tight controls, and old-school game mechanics (with a modern twist). In light of world news, Blockman 1989 will be free for all. I hope you enjoy playing Blockman 1989 as much as I did making it. <3 i3
