Unreleased Sega arcade ports for SG-1000 in TV ad
Post Posted: Fri May 12, 2023 6:54 am
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?

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.

The Sega Genesis Mini 2 version replaces "Rydeen" with the song "Ryzeen" by Oriental Magnetic Yellow, a YMO parody band led by composer Shinji Hosoe.

Which is kind of funny.

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