Trivia
- 119, the american version of Noboranka and War Ball became currently undumped;
- Block Gal and Shooting Master are the only games that use analogic devices to play, such as spinning dial and lightgun. Most of System 1 / 2 games are 2-way, 4-way or 8-way digital joysticks;
- Zippy Bug became the only non-published Sega game in the hardware (although it was supposed to be);
- Despite the Arcade version of Wonder Boy Monster Land not released outside Japan (meaning that it didn't get a official english translation), various bootleggers did a english translation, however, these are poor translations compared to the Japanese version (or even the SMS version). It became on "Engrish" status until Sega re-released it on Wii Virtual Console in 2012-10. Moreover, with the Nintendo's Wii Shopping Channel closure in 2019, Sega re-released Wonder Boy Monster Land for Nintendo Switch in the same year under the new era of Sega Ages line;
- As much like Teddy Boy Blues, UFO Senshi Yohko-chan was supposed to feature a Japanese actress idol called Yoko Minamino, and the title was supposed to be as Nan no Koreshiki (なんのこれしきっ). However, Vic Tokai with Sega didn't get a good negotiation with Yoko's office, leaving this game to be a parody, featuring her as a playable character.
