Many of us grew up with the Sega Genesis/Megadrive and this is where we discovered Phantasy Star. But many of us discovered the Shining series at the same time too.
Both series shared the same fate. They both went from awesome to being really...well certain would say aweful.
Lady Moogie from Shining Force Central (every Shining fans should know this site) started a rescue project for the Shining Series, because the 20th anniversary of it is coming really soon. She wants Camelot (the original maker of the game up to Shining Force III) to come back and make a new title, and for that, want to send them all the fan-love she can get. This is not just a tiny fan project, go read her new site about it, it's true dedication, and if you have love for the Shining series too, you should go try and support the cause.

Why I'm posting this? Well like I said, most of us grew up with both series, and while I went and focus only on the Classic Saga of Phantasy Star, this is the kind of fan project I would like to see succeed, so that one day, we can also try to resurect our own series from the Doom its in right now. Both series, like I said, have went downhill compared to the old days, and if we can save one, maybe one day we will be able to save the other. So if you can, support her cause with all your heart!
