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.

What players say

Players are split: many bought the package only for the original Bubble Bobble, which lacks high score saving and controller support, while the new 4 Friends mode is called boring and repetitive. The game works only with XInput controllers and runs too fast on high refresh rate monitors.
