Shouldn't these all be listed as "Home Brews" instead of in the "US Game Releases" category?
From what I can tell they weren't available in retail stores during the life of the system.
I see that there is one title from them listed in the "Home Brews" section but there are five in the "US Game Releases" category.
Any ideas on that?

I consider them homebrew, but some of them are late release Domark games that they must have gotten the rights for and are just reprinting. For example Battle Frenzy was released for the Mega CD in the UK as Bloodsport, but not in the US. They're also selling Smurfs, which is an uncommon Mega CD game.

However, none of the games they sell are pressed, just burned onto a CDR. I also don't think any of them have manuals. The copy of Marko's Magic Football I got is just a CDR in a DVD case with a printed out custom insert. Because of that, none of them will ever really go "out of print", unlike homebrews that are glass mastered and pressed on discs such as Mysterious Song.

Thanks for the response. I don't own any of them but they definitely don't sound like they should be counted as official US releases. I have removed them from my list and have now listed them as "Home Brews". Thank you.
