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

Goemon: Mononoke Sugoroku is a video game for the Nintendo 64, released in 1999. The game is based on the Goemon series and despite the series' relative popularity in the west for the system, the game was released only in Japan. The game is based on the Japanese board game Sugoroku, populated with Konami's array of Ganbare Goemon characters. Up to four players control two dice, and take them in turns to control Goemon, Ebisumaru, Sasuke, or Yae over pre-rendered boards that resemble previous locations in the Ganbare Goemon series.
