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

A fast, arcade-style bike racer blending full-motion video with humorous touches and a 90s throwback feel.

What players say

Players call Cyclemania a quirky 1994 FMV racer that feels like Road Rash without the fighting. The game uses filmed road footage as tracks, which reviewers say still gives a strong sense of speed. It runs via DOSBox with no enhancements, and controller support requires manual setup in the options. Nostalgia is the main draw, though some find the gameplay shallow and easy.
