It is a spin-off of the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series. Players control Sonic the Hedgehog, who must stop Doctor Robotnik from enslaving the population in a giant pinball-like mechanism.

NFL Prime Time '98
''NFL '98'' is a sports video game released for the Sega Genesis in 1997. Future Sega football titles would fall under the '' NFL 2K'' branding.

The game runs under a modified engine of '' Prime Time NFL starring Deion Sanders'' with updated 96-97 rosters.

Eternal Champions
''Eternal Champions'' is a 1993 fighting game developed and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis. It was one of the few fighting games of its time developed from the ground up as a home console title, rather than being released in arcades first and later ported to home systems. Sega released ''Eternal Champions'' in hopes of capitalizing on the fighting game mania that the game industry was in the midst of following the massive success of ''Street Fighter II'' (1991) and ''Mortal Kombat (1992 video game), Mortal Kombat'' (1992). The game tried to set itself apart with unique features such as a heavier emphasis on its story, characters pulled from different time periods, reflectable projectiles, force fields, fighters that carried weapons, a training mode where players had to defend themselves against robotic traps, a novel method of executing moves, and elaborate stage-specific finishing moves called "#overkill, Overkills".
