Phantasy Star (Japanese: ファンタシースター) is the most famous RPG series by Sega. It has had many incarnations, including an online version. Contrary to most other RPGs, it has a futuristic/fantasy setting where the player battles monsters using a variety of guns in addition to the usual staple of melee weapons and magic that are found in similar games.

History

---

The first Phantasy Star was for the Sega Master System. It was first released in Japan on December 20, 1987, and was one of the first cartridges to include battery backed RAM for saving game positions. The game featured an amazing (at the time) set of 3D maze-like dungeons which you traversed in real time in a first person mode. Phantasy Star, along with Dragon Quest (1986) and Final Fantasy, distinguished itself as a pioneer of what came to be defined console role-playing.

@SuisLaLune Classic Sega RPG series. The best was the second game, for the Genesis. The later Phantasy Star Online games are disappointing.
