When I was a kid, I compared my games to what they were based on (arcade games).

#112053 To fans of the classic Phantasy Star games, how did you get into the series?

Nice topic. Growing up, my dad bought me new games for getting good grades in school. I usually picked my games by cover art. Phantasy Star was the first one he ever bought me....I was young so at the time the concept odd RPG was lost on me lol
That was really nice of your dad. After getting Phantasy Star, my dad bought me the Genesis for getting good grades in school. So we have somewhat similar stories. So anyway, then I saved up all my money for weeks so I could by Phantasy Star II, it was even more expensive than Phantasy Star.....PSII was $80 at release...but I did it, lol. By the time I got PSII, I understood the concept of RPG, yet the challenge was even greater. I will never forget those days.

Me?
-I bought a Master System for my birthday in 1989, instead of getting the NES. I bought it mainly for Missile Defense 3-D. I loved it, but I wanted more from my SMS. Much later in 1989 I started reading magazines like Video Games & Computer Entertainment and EGM. I learned about a "new" kind of game called "RPG" and, I wanted one. I don't remember exactly what publication I was reading but I found a list of all the role playing games that the SMS had. I saw Miracle Warriors, Y's, Lord of the Sword (not an RPG) and PHANTASY STAR. I felt that Phantasy Star "was the one" so I convinced my brother to combined our money and buy it. This was over winter break 1989-1990. Phantasy Star cost $70 at the time, the most expensive game in the SMS library and probably the most expensive game on the U.S. market for consoles.
-Anyway, I had about $50 and my brother had something like $30, so together, we had enough. I rode my bike to Toys"R"Us as fast as I could and bought Phantasy Star. When I got home I opened it up and put the cart in my SMS. I let my brother have the first turn playing. I was shocked. This wasn't any kind of game I had experienced before. It was so different. The graphics were amazing to me as a kid at the time and the gameplay was so unique. Long story short--I fell in love with the game almost right away. It took me MONTHS and MONTHS to finish. My brother never finished it, though.
Anyway,
I would certainly say playing Phantasy Star over winter break 1989-1990 was one of my fondest videogame memories ever.
Such happy times!
So how did you get into the (original classic RPG) Phantasy Star, I'd like to hear your stories

You will become a constant reminder I need to start up the Phantasy Star games. Not a bad thing. Welcome!
Thanks!
A bit of history on the release dates of these beloved games:
Phantasy Star came out in Japan in 1987, then in 1988 in the U.S., I never got a chance to play it until the start of 1990.
Phantasy Star II was released in Japan in March of 1989, well before many gamers in the U.S. even knew that Genesis existed. Phantasy Star II didn't reach U.S. shores until March of 1990, by that time, Phantasy Star III was about to be released in Japan!, It came out April 1990. The U.S, did not see Phantasy Star III until August of 1991. Phantasy Star IV was released in December of 1993 in Japan, not reaching the U.S. until Feb. 1995 (!) even though the copyright date on the title screen shows 1994.
Anyone who is a Phantasy Star fan very much needs to play the classic four games!
Here's a speedrun of ME (not my speedrun) ! (warning: SPOILERS)

I love all of the classic Phantasy Star games --
Perhaps one day they'll be re-imagined on Wii U, and yes, I'm aware of the Japan-only Phantasy Star Generations
