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

Dezaemon 3D is a video game and game creator for the Nintendo 64. It was released only in Japan in 1998. The game's editor allows players to design their own shooting game levels similar to the levels shown in Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth. The game has a large number of options, from creating the stage boss or adding a custom soundtrack for each level. It was originally developed alongside an ultimately unreleased accompanying expansion disk title for 64DD.
