Welcome to Fringes of Algo!
We are a fan site celebrating Phantasy Star, the long running science fiction saga from video gaming giant SEGA. As one of SEGA's flagship roleplaying titles, this series has enjoyed a dedicated fan following for over two decades. Now in our 27th year, we invite you to explore the saga through our articles and galleries covering games and books.

If you are a Phantasy Star fan, join in on the discussions in our community to share your own experiences with other fans of this classic series!
History and Mythology
Even though it is fiction, the stories of the Phantasy Star saga draw deeply on many real world sources to add some flavor. Influences from Greek and Norse mythology, the Star Wars films, astronomy, and even the Bible can be found throughout the video game series.

Server upgrades

So last night, the web hosting company I use decided to make some server upgrades without advance notice. That caused some things around the site to break due to software incompatibilities.

Registration is back, CAPTCHA fixed

For a loooong time, registration on the boards has been disabled because software changes to the site's server broke the anti-spam confirmation images. I have (finally) found an easy fix for this, so registration is now available again. This also impacted the anti-spam confirmation images on the contact form and repeated login failures, so those are now fixed as well.

Happy Anniversary!

Happy 22nd anniversary, Fringes of Algo! Today marks 22 years since this site was first brought online. I can't believe it has been so long or how much the site has grown. We've got over 105,000 posts in over 11,000 topics! Not bad at all for a small fan site that started out as a Geocities page, don't you think?
