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

The Guardians, a secret society wielding the power of the Force, have readied their tanks and intend on crushing the aspirations of the Hammerbolt Empire! This is an auto-scrolling, multidirectional shooting game released by SUCCESS in 1998. This masterpiece of the past is given new life using the specially-developed "Zebra Engine." The new features included such as game rewind, slow mode, and quick save greatly improve ease of play. Online rankings have also been added!
