The Long Awaited Phantasy Star III !!!
David Hawk
YES! The long awaited Phantasy Star III is here in Syracuse, New York, USA|!
I've waited since January 1991 when Al, the Marketing Director (or something
equivalent to that..can't remember exactly) of SEGA told us(the finalists of
the Genesis competition in case you're wondering) that PS3 will be released
in Spring 1991.
Oh well, I got my copy of PS3 now and I can't wait to try it.
Keep watching this group...I may post something later on.

I've played and finished all of the endings on the Mega Drive ver-
sions so I'll put my two cents worth about Phantasy Star III. There are
no spoilers in what I'm saying so those of you who have the game, don't
worry -- I won't spoil anything for you.

I think that was Al Nilsen.

From what I've read, Sega of America has not included a hint book
with Phantasy Star III. This is a good thing since it reduces the cost
of the game. Instead of being an $80 game, it is now a $70 game (these
are list prices and can be gotten for cheaper if one looks around).
Anyway, Phantasy Star III's dungeons are so easy you don't need to do
any mapping at all - I memorized the dungeons when I was playing PSIII.
There are no dungeons like Phantasy Star II's where you have to climb
up six levels to drop down a chute (those of you who've played Phantasy
Star II know what hell that was :-)
After playing Phantasy Star III, I've found that I don't like it
as much as Phantasy Star II. I don't know why but I just felt Phantasy
Star II was much more fun. I think out of all the role-playing games
I've played on the Genesis, I would rank them as follows
1) Phantasy Star II
2) Shining and the Darkness
3) Phantasy Star III
4) Vermilion
One other thing that bothered me about Phantasy Star III is that it
does not continue the storyline at the end of Phantasy Star II. After
I finished Phantasy Star II, I felt that Phantasy Star III would con-
tinue from the point where you confront the army of humans. Oh well...
The graphics are better in some places on PS III but overall, PS II was
a much better game.
