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

F1 CHAMPIONSHIP Season 2000, featuring all the drama, action, and emotion of the 2000 season, takes the player right to the heart of the thrilling world of Formula One racing. Re-live the gladiatorial battles between Michael Schumacher and David Coulthard or tear up the record books and take an outsider to World Championship glory. In-depth behind the scenes technical support from the Orange Arrows and Benetton Formula One teams allows the game player to enter the world of Formula One racing in unprecedented detail and authenticity.

What players say

An early PS2 Formula One game with surprisingly realistic braking and drafting physics, but undercut by some of the worst AI of its era and a rushed, incomplete feel. Remembered as a passable, middle-of-the-road sim for its time.
