Unreleased Sega arcade ports for SG-1000 in TV ad

As noticed by 2Tie on Discord:
We see: - Up ‘n Down - Astron Belt - Super Locomotive Maybe more if we could read them more clearly :) The console itself seems to have a different design on the label too? |

Not unreleased but I can also spot:
Congo Bongo Champion Baseball Safari Hunting Golgo 13 Star Jacker Nsub Sindbad |

Here's my reading. Some notes:
* Sindbad Mystery is shown as Sindbad * Sega Flipper is shown as Flipper * Borderline is shown as Border Line * Champion Golf is shown as Golf * Champion Tennis is shown as Tennis * I had to guess wildly at 芹沢八段の詰将棋 being shown as 詰将棋 Otherwise, this is every release up to G-1019. There are two unused numbers - G-1013 and G-1016 - and three candidates for what they might have been. Super Locomotive was a Sega arcade game, only recently ported to Mega Drive. Astron Belt was an early laserdisc arcade game by Sega, hard to imagine how they'd demake it for SG-1000 :) Up'n Down was also a Sega arcade game, and had a Colecovision release which I guess could easily have been released on SG-1000 too - although oddly Coleco Sega games seem to rarely (or ever?) cross over. |

I've heard claims of the Super Locomotive arcade board having only like 20 copies made.
Yet, there's two revisions in MAME, surprising for a game of supposedly that low production. Unless it was a test location thing? (OT tangent, Ni****do's Sky Skipper is perhaps just as strange. I think there was some claim of NoA having the only working machine. There had to be at least one other, otherwise how would the game have ended up in MAME? I know I read about one guy who, surely using the MAME ROMs, restored one of the Popeye PCBs that was a recycled Sky Skipper back in the day.) And yet, someone still made and released a licensed 2600 port. For a game that didn't get onto Ni****do's own consoles until the Switch.) |

And it's great. I was slightly disappointed that they changed the music, the coin-op had YMO's Rydeen as its theme but the MD version doesn't. Licensing issues I guess. |

I may be wrong, but I think GP World is a port/demake of a laser disc game. |

Wikipedia says:
Which is kind of funny. |

Heheh, I love that! It does sound sort of similar. |
