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

Blue Sphere Plus is a Sonic & Knuckles hack. It is based on the Blue Sphere Standalone ROM, with new features, such as: - Pressing B or C now cycles between Sonic + Tails (blue + orange bumpers), Sonic alone (both blue), Tails (both orange), Knuckles + Tails (red + orange bumpers), and Knuckles (both red). - SRAM support to remember the character you last selected, and the last level completed. - If holding A while pressing Start to start a stage, the player starts all stages from then on at top speed (not saved between sessions). - You can now press Start at the first screen to reach the menu, instead of holding A + B + C. - Select "SONIC 3K" on the first menu, and you will play through all 16 of Sonic 3 & Knuckles' Special Stages in order, including the 2 "secret" ones. Saving and code entry are disabled while this mode is active, and the game will reset upon completion of the last stage. - Can Lock-On to other ROMs, including the Sonic games that would normally enable special modes when locked-on to Sonic & Knuckles. - Users can lock-on a file containing custom levels to play.
