    The only other "black box" game I have personally seen in cardboard is Jeopardy. Really any black box game in cardboard is rare, and I'd like to know the history behind them.

    When Sonic 2 was released, the Genesis was at the height of its popularity, so it's possible they temporarily ran out of clamshell cases.

    Eh, I wouldn't be so sure on that one. The cardboard variation looks to be unbelievably uncommon, I've never seen one show up on ebay and I've been looking for quite some time.

    The Little Mermaid also came out in a cardboard box, thanks to Majesco.

    all Tec Toy releases come in plastic cases except for sega cd and 32x titles. and there would be a bright yellow TEC TOY logo all over the package.

    let me re-quote myself here. This is the truth. Its just a very rare retail release that was available for a very short time when people were NOT buying copies of Sonic 2......hence the rarity. Id also say but cant confirm, that it was only available at select retailers or even only at Super Kmart, as thats where mine came from and I can clearly recal the rack of Sonic 2s being full compared to the other titles there, cause nobody was buying them.

    I'll give you five dollars for it.



    I actually remember seeing a few of these as a kid. Pretty much ignored them since I had Sonic 2 already. The naivety of a child.
