"TATS" is Tatsujin (released outside Japan as Truxton); it was spelled using Latin letters on the official art. "ダライ" are most likely Darius and Darius II. Darius II was from the Mega Drive's heyday and was released in the US as Sagaia. Darius 1 was made specifically for the Mega Drive Mini but Taito and Columbus Circle would do a physical cartridge run in Japan in 2021. "スラップ" is most likely Slap Fight MD. This game was only released in Japan, but the arcade game it's a port of was released overseas as Alcon. "Ａ列車" is A Ressha de Ikou MD. Also only released in Japan. It's part of Artdink's "A Train" series. "ロードラッシ" is Road Rash. Judging from the red text it's probably the first one, though II was also released in Japan. "プロホッケ" is "Pro Hockey". Yes, that's what it's called in Japan — in the US it was called "NHL Hockey" and in Europe it was called "EA Hockey". It refers to the first of EA's ice hockey games. Japan also got the similarly nondescript "Pro Football"; that one is Madden 92.
