  • The Hybrid Front (some programming; anything else?) (JP Publisher: Sega)
???: Orino; ???: Studio WOW!; ???: MDP; Other programming: H.I.C.
  • Ristar the Shooting Star / Ristar (programming?; anything else?) (JP/US/EU Publisher: Sega)
appears to have used the other two games as a base for the programming
