Released by Sega in 1987 for the Master System, Phantasy Star is a pioneering sci-fi role-playing game that set a new standard for the genre. Set in the Algol star system, players guide Alis Landale on an epic quest to avenge her brother and overthrow the tyrant Lassic, battling through both overhead maps and innovative pseudo-3D first-person dungeons.
Explore planets, upgrade your equipment, and battle enemies in turn-based combat to gain experience. The Master System controls use the D-pad to move, Button 1 to view stats or cancel, and Button 2 to confirm actions, which map to the arrow keys and Z/X in your browser.
Always carry a Magic Hat in the early game to escape difficult dungeon battles. Map out the first-person dungeons on graph paper to avoid getting lost, and focus on recruiting Myau and Odin as soon as possible to round out your party’s abilities.
