Japanese Gameboy (this is an old magazine name), issue 1987/11, Sega Special.

I got this magazine recently, 116 pages full of sweet Japanese Master System stuff. Can't scan that anytime soon, but I looked over it and found an interesting shop ad listing "future" releases, including some unreleased.

Page 94-95
Family Land (ファミリーランド) shop advertisement.

マーンボール - 内容はまだわかりません。ゴメン。
スペースシューティグ - これもわからない。えーん……。
プロテクター - えーん。知らないよーん。
スーパーマン - あのスーパーマンがセガから登場！
ビリオネア3D - ３Ｄが年末、ブームを呼びそうだネ。

マーンボール - Maanbaaru - Manball? Moonball?
See this thread mentionning "Moonball".
Include the comment: "Sorry, we don't know about the content yet", meaning they had no info about this game either.

スペースシューティグ - Space Shooting? The magazine index mention "Space Shooting" along with "SDI" so it may be the same game, but SDI is also mentionned in the same ad elsewhere so it could be different.
Include the comment: "We don't know about this one either".

プロテクター - Protector, again
"We don't know about it".

スーパーマン - Superman? Also mentionned in the thread linked above.
"Superman from Sega!"

ビリオネア3D - Birionea 3D/Billionar 3D, again.
Unsure translation. Mention: 3D - end of year - boom - call.

Ok, I know this is rough. But at least this is the first time I see something "official" mentionning the titles above.

I think they're saying something like, 'it looks like (we) can call the end of this year a boom for 3D', which might be meant as a pun. That is, the game has to do with billionaires, and they use the word "boom" (i.e. a time of rapidly growing economy). Another way of saying it might be, 'at the end of this year, 3D goes "boom"'.
