Phantasy Star – Phantasy Star Series – _Images

Phantasy Star (ファンタシースター) is the first installment in Sega's renowned series of the same name. It was released for the Sega Master System in Japan on December 20, 1987. 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.

The game was ported a decade later as part of the Phantasy Star Collection, which was released for the Sega Saturn and PlayStation 2 in Japan and for the Game Boy Advance in North America, where critics deemed it as a historically relevant step for its genre. It was also released for Virtual Console on the Wii in 2009.
