By 1997 the Sega Saturn was already into its stride so few Sega Mega Drive games were released in this period. The last stand-alone game to be published by Sega, The Lost World: Jurassic Park was released this year.

One somewhat notable occurance was Electronic Arts' FIFA 98: Road to World Cup, the first FIFA game to be released with a FIFA World Cup theme. Though only released in Europe, certain country had their own localised front cover (complete with football celebrity), and is one of the few Mega Drive games to make the effort.
