Sega Saturday 004: Phantasy Star 2 for Genesis

The Sega Genesis got a bunch of really awesome RPGs and this is one that Sega made a big deal of. This was a huge deal not only because this game started its programming on the Master System and ended up on the next console. The release here in the US was actually quite interesting. The game cost a little bit more because it came with more Mega Power as they say as well as a guide to help you on your quest. Extras like these are something that are a norm on video games nowadays, but back then, it was very far in between. If you want to play one of the best RPGs for the Sega Genesis, definitely try this one out. You have a very challenging quest, hours and hours of gameplay, and a great story. Believe it or not, the game was also unfinished in some parts as the programming team wanted to implement 3-D dungeons just like in the first Phantasy Star as well as animated backgrounds but they ran out of time. Even though those things were missing, we still got a masterpiece. 
One thing you should also check out is the remake for the PS2 under the Sega Ages series. It was never translated to English but it sure has a very interesting upgrade in graphics. It’s not for everyone so do your own research on whether you wanna go for it. See ya next week!
