Retro-Gaming Goodness...



Phantasy Star (ファンタシースター Fantashī Sutā?) is the first installment in Sega's renowned series of the same title. It was released for the Sega Master Systemin Japan on December 20, 1987, and then in North America and Europe in 1988. It is considered one of the pioneers amongst role-playing video games, both for its advanced graphics technology, and for being one of the first story-driven games released in the West. It is also notable for being one of the first games featuring a female protagonist.

This week I am playing the original Phantasy Star that was released to the U.S. public in 1988. Yeah the sounds and graphics are a little rudimentary but I am having fun.  The game is much more difficult that I imagined it being. There were four games in the series and I am going to play them all in the correct order. The other three were released for the Sega Genesis video game console.
