If there’s one game I can say changed the way I thought of storytelling and narrative, it was Phantasy Star II. Hands down one of the greatest JRPGs I played, it is a powerful work of science fiction. It was also what convinced me for the longest time that Sega had the edge in the 16-bit console wars.
Sega Genesis had a handful of outstanding RPGs like Phantasy Star IV and Shining Force II. Outside of the very best examples, many of the Sega Genesis RPGs did not get the amount of recognition they deserved.
Yes OMG.. I didn't know it was called this.. In Europe it was called Soleil.
I remember restarting it as soon as I finished it..
Story of Thor, Light Crusader deserve a special mention!!!
Hell yes.. I remember reading about that code in a gaming magazine when I was a kid, lol
Sega is bringing its massive catalog of retro games to a mobile platform near you.
WELL DAMN!
Really smart and tech conscious move though. I mean everyone is downloading these for free anyway on mediocre emulars on their phone anyway, so do this and you give a much easier and more refined way to do so that not only allows them to browse/discover games they never played but will certainly earn Sega some good publicity to the masses

Mobile...urgh
Why not give console players a bigger, better Sega Ultimate Genesis Collection
This whole thing would have been so much better on console....guess they are just pursuing the mobile market as its big in Japan.
hmm... I get a "cannot be installed on your device's country" error when attempting to install....So not available in the US yet?
I read another article that said it starts on Thurs. And today is wed. (In the u.s.) so check back tomorrow.
Started working about an hour ago (Still wednesday here) and Sonic just went free too.. you just have to manually search for it since the link on the Sega Forever site is broken (Sega delisted the $2.99 version and relisted it as free)
Cinco De Mayo not only welcomes in a party holiday, but five new games coming to the Xbox One Backwards compatibility list.
Even if it has been a lot of XBLA titles, you have to give Microsoft credit for the BC efforts.
Absolutely. Completed Alan Wake the other day on bc, and it hold its own against todays AAA titles.
yeeeah. i got alan wake from the qb pre order and started playing through it again. And finally finished witcher 2 last month through it. So far i'm liking the bc stuff. it just sucks i cant play gears 3 horde on it coz of the terrible framerate. but for the most part bc is pretty useful.
Didn't know Phantasy Star 2 was even on the XBox. I know there was an online version, but that was it.
Wasn't StarWars the Force Unleashed 1 and 2 release during the course of this week. These websites need to do a better job with gathering information. In all 7 titles Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2, Dig Dug, Sonic & Knuckles, Phantasy Star 2, Samurai Shodown 2 and Runner2. MS is doing a great job. I may be off but I believe there are 176 titles in all.
Also Lego Star Wars launched on BC...I think that was for Star Wars day but maybe it was already BC?
I wish they could make a new Phantasy Star game like this.
