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.

What players say

Players report the port has widespread issues: most cannot use a controller properly, steering is locked to arrow keys, pacing runs too fast, and split-screen multiplayer is missing. A few get it working after restarts, but many say emulation is better.
