/* Here are the beginnings of a Sonic merchandise list. Let's try
   to make it more complete and in time make it a retrievable file.
   Although the Sonic list isn't for games, I think it would make
   sense to include them here.

   All information on Sega products was cut and pasted from a session
   log on CompuServe. Submissions of brief game descriptions are
   welcome.

   I would like to keep this document seperate from the FAQ, but I do need
   your help with submissions, descriptions, and corrections.
