Are you an import-savvy gamer who not only purchased Phantasy Star Complete Collection last Thursday, but have also played through all the included games? Well, don't toss that unsightly Sega Ages box onto your shelf just yet, because there's more Phantasy Star included on the disc!
Sega Japan announced today the method for unlocking a couple of bonus titles for the game. Simply hold right on the D-pad while pressing start at the title screen, and you'll get the option to play Phantasy Star Adventure and Phantasy Star Gaiden, both originally for the Game Gear.
Adventure is set in the same world as Phantasy Star II and has players investigate a mysterious happening on the planet of Dezolis. Sega has updated the game with a pause feature, allowing you to pause play midway through and continue at a later point. The original was password-based.
Gaiden offers an original look at the Phantasy Star universe. Set 450 years after the original game, players lead Alec and his childhood friend Mina on an adventure to rescue Alec's father from prison. The game is set on a planet that was discovered by the original's hero, Alis.
With these two titles, the four main entries in the series both in Japanese and overseas formats, and the eight mobile scenarios featuring PSII's Nei character, Phantasy Star Complete Collection really does appear to be complete! Although we're all hoping Sega will make it incomplete with the announcement at some point of a real Phantasy Star V.
