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

This is a hack which changes Sonic the Hedgehog for Genesis into a entirely different game with new gameplay. It stars Dr. Robotnik whom must capture creatures with a net and put them in creature capsules. The graphics are the same as previous Sonic games but the rest is mostly changed. Most levels are open by default.
