IGN writes: "It's difficult to give the downloadable version of Phantasy Star II too big of a recommendation considering it was released for a much lower price as part of Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection along with a slew of other classics including Phantasy Star I, III, and IV. But pricing aside, Phantasy Star II is one of the truly classic role playing games of the 16 bit era. While it has some technical issues like the truncation of words and a less than elegant menu system it stands the test of time with its long and enjoyable story".
Ben from Netto's Game Room takes a look at 7 video games where dying doesn't mean the end, as the story and world simply continue on without you.
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)
