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

Crazy the Hedgehog is a modification of Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genisis, in which you play as an alternate dimension version of Sonic named Crazy. Crazy has to defeat the parallel of Dr. Robotnik, Dr. Mechanik and his robot army as he's attacking North Island, to find the Dimensional Gems! But this dimension isn't exactly like it's parallel, it's similar but different, its a crazy world! This hack features new level palettes and layouts.
