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.

How it feels

A cheerful, chaotic shooter that wraps bullet-dodging intensity in cartoonish silliness and bright absurdist charm.

About

Released a year after Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius, this port for the Sega Saturn and PlayStation includes improved graphics and sound over the Super Famicom release. Additional features include a cheat to replace "Tokimeki People's Dance" with an enhanced version, "Days Of The Dream's Memories", several "Omake" stages, and unlockable characters Dracula-kun and Kid Dracula. The two-player game also allows both players to play simultaneously instead of just alternately like in the Super Famicom game.
