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

Navigate a winding corridor filled with obstacles in this new precision-movement game for the NES, rotating your ship and accelerating forward in the frictionless environment of space. Three difficulties determine the number of lives gained from each checkpoint, and gravity can be toggled on for additional challenge. A secret ending and hidden mode can be uncovered by the most skilled of players.
