AFAICT it's an
intentional misspelling - it's switched so it has the letters "GOL" in it -- for "Game of Life".

Catagolue is an intentional amalgam of "catalogue" and GoL (Game of Life), not a typo. See the wiki page for more info.

... Heh, you're a long way from being the first. It's a rather subtle in-joke that often just escapes people's notice for a long time, just like a lot of people can read right past
badly jumbled word centers as long as the first and last letters are correct.
The "catagolue" spelling has even been mistaken for a
temporary April Fool's alteration.
