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

Zooming around tiny tracks in a pixel-art car, grabbing chaotic power-ups to blast your friends off the road.

What players say

Players mostly bought this 1998 re-release for nostalgia. They praise the 90s pre-rendered graphics and soundtrack but note the game is stuck at 800x600 resolution, Steam does not track playtime correctly, and the difficulty spikes. The combat racing plays like an arcade racer with rockets and mines, similar to Micro Machines.
