I have it. Paid a buck for a loose cart at a Gamecrazy last year. Haven't gotten around to playing it though, because I hardly ever have my Genesis hooked up.
EDIT: I recently sold my copy, so I don't have it anymore.

It's a Genesis platformer featuring an Elephant named Rolo. I think it's by Electronic Arts. It debuted at retail price $19.99 and was in the bargain bin a week later.

I was kind of joking. :D The game did come out at a really cheap price, either $19.99 or $29.99. See, when I was working at Babbages 10 years ago, I remember EA started putting out a lot of "budget" games, lets call them, for the Genesis. Among them was this, Dark Castle, and a few Psygnosis ports like Fatal Rewind (AKA the Killing Game Show on the Amiga). They ended up in clearance fast. I don't remember what their actual price was; probably $14.99. That was what we priced something when we wanted to get it the hell out of the store.

I wasn't picking on you. I actually liked a lot of the cheapo Genesis games, though I've never played Rolo. It's rare for a reason, though.
Oh, and if you really don't want people to pick on you, type with correct grammar and punctuation. I'm not being sarcastic, just a friendly tip. :)

i friggin LOVE rolo growing up , i used to rent it from my dads store like every night. Ive been trying to find a copy of it cheap for a while now, i really would like a complete copy if anyone has an extra laying around let me know.
I thought it was a great game though as a child ( which doesnt really mean anything ive played a lot of games and watched a lot of movies i loved as a kid that just dont have that same greatness to them anymore....in fact they are terrible) but anyways i loved the way you could switch animals to use there diffrent powers i thought it a diffrent kinda platformer and really fun.
