Article: The Original Phantasy Star Hits the Virtual Console

[S-T-H]

The original Sega Master System version of Phantasy Star hit the Virtual Console (http://www.nintendo.com/wii/virtualconsole/games/detail/liCGd--387PDpgcfX7CfYK4-c94D4wf6) today in North America. It was released in Japan on April 21st and Europe on August 14th. Pricing for the game is 500 Nintendo Points.


For those keeping track, this is the last of the original series to do so. Phantasy Star II, III, and IV have already been released at 800 Nintendo Points a piece.



Update: There is now a game page (http://www.sega.com/games/phantasy-star/) about Phantasy Star on Sega's own site as well as a blog entry (http://blogs.sega.com/usa/2009/09/01/phantasy-star-sega-master-system-out-now-on-virtual-console/) about the release from PSU's current GM.

If I didn't have Sonic's Genesis Collection (PS3) I'd have gotten this right away. I've only played the first one on Gameboy Advance probably about 5 or 6 years ago. I got stuck at one point, and never went back and figured it out. Now I just have to unlock it in SGC.

I remember having the PS Collection for GBA when I was in 5th grade. Didn't really like the first Phantasy Star, the 3rd one was even worse. Phantasy Star 2 though was something special. I stopped a little bit after Nei's death. The game was just so hard, I was losing interest, and lol I was almost so dissapointed that Nei died, I didn't really wanna play that much anymore anyway. :/

Phantasy Star for Sega Master System is not an easy game. It's great though.

Too bad it didn't have Phantasy Star 4 included. That game was great, as well.
