MORE CLASSIC PHANTASY STAR MOMENTS

Piece Of Cake

You need to see the governor of Motavia, but you can’t see him without bringing a gift.

What he really wants is some shortcake. Unfortunat­ely for you, the only bakery in the area happens to be in the depths of a dungeon. The shopkeeper even apologises for this bizarre choice of location, which brings up one question – why put it there in the first place?

A Bad Dream

The governor has decided to give you his assistance in bringing down the tyrannical

Lassic, and insists that you spend a night at his residence.

Unfortunat­ely, when you do, you enter an impossible fight against a shadowy, nightmaris­h foe. You wake up when you lose – but is this really a bad dream, or a terrible sign of things to come?

Super Best Friends

It takes quite a bit of time to finally get Noah (or Lutz, if you’re playing the Japanese version) to join your party, but it’s well worth all the effort once you do. He doesn’t have the physical attack prowess of Odin, Alis or even Myau, but he’s capable of casting various devastatin­g spells, and is the final member needed to complete the quartet.

A Whole New World

Having a large world is always a bonus in any RPG, but

Phantasy Star took things a step further when it came to scale by setting the game across three planets. Once you’ve explored the verdant forests of Palma and the seemingly endless deserts of Motavia, it’s a real treat to finally land on the bleak, frozen planet of Dezoris.
