*''[[Shining in the Darkness]]'' was the inaugural game in the series.
 
*''[[Phantasy Star]]'' was repackaged for the Mega Drive for a Japanese magazine contest; this is just the [[Sega Master System]] version in a Mega Drive cart and the appropriate mode pin set (as the Mega Drive can play Master System games if the game's cart has a certain pin lifted)
 
*''[[Madou Monogatari I]]'' was the last officially licensed Mega Drive game released in Japan
 
*''[[Pier Solar and the Great Architects]]'' was the first commercial homebrew Mega Drive game released internationally that was not a translation of a Chinese game
