  Algol is actually 90+/- lightyears from earth, designated Beta-Persei, of the Perseus constellation. Called the Demon Star (dark force) or Gorgona (Medusa). That's why they threw that particular piece of mythology into the story. This game was truly ahead of it's time. 😊

  the brother DID die in vain. All the other characters can be resurrected just down the road

  My grandma bought us our Sega Master System when it came out and Phantasy Star was her first love of games and RPGs. She called the Sega Help Hotline so many times about the game that someone mailed her out a printed out walkthrough with maps and in the packet was a typed letter thanking her for being such a fan. That made her so happy.

  $70 in 1987, would be like charging $200 for a game today. Now that's a pricey meat-a-ball!

  I couldn't afford the game back in the day if it was just too expensive but I called the 800 number of Sega and they sent me a strategy guide so I could experience the game vicariously. I wish I still had it and the other guides they sent me they were printed out as text on regular paper and stuffed into an envelope for free. Sega's customer service blew Nintendo away

  I had the pleasure of starting with part 1 which had mind blowing graphics. Part 2 was just even more mind blowing

  This was my absolute favorite game growing up.  It was just an fantastic experience that easily rivaled the Legend of Zelda.

  I remember getting to the end of this game and soft locking myself with an ill timed saved in the final dungeon.  I can’t believe they let you do stuff like that in these OG games.

  Whatever their limitations, those 3d dungeons must have been quite a surprise to anyone used to the choppy wireframe dungeons of the early Ultima games, or nearly attempt at 3d on the poor old C64.

  First time i saw that 3d dungeon scrolling i could not believe in my eyes that this was a Sega Master System game.
