The packaging makes it appear that it is.
3. AMAZING SONIC THE HEDGEHOG POCKET ARCADE from Sega
Sonic and Robotnik are at it again! The diaboloicol Dr. Robotnik has created a
robot factory and it's up to Sonic to stop the mass production of metal mutants!
Sonic works his way through the maze-like rooms in an effort to find and remove

levels of fast and furious action as he tries to put Robotnik out of business -
for good!

In his first CD adventure, Sonic goes head to head with The Metal Sonic,

he can bend time and rule the world! Can you help Sonic get them first?
The CD contains 34 audio selections which can be played on a regular CD player.
7. SONIC CHAOS FOR GAME GEAR from Sega
Here he comes, straight from his high-speed Sonic 2 adventure! Headstrong Sonic
