Electronic Game Player: Electronic Game Player 4, page 60

It is difficult to find early reviews for the original Phantasy Star, but one such article resides in the rare fourth issue of Electronic Game Player, a precursor to the more famous Electronic Gaming Monthly. The game is given a glowing review by the founder of both magazines, Steve Harris. Sadly, his prediction about inclusion in the magazine's awards did not come true. Electronic Game Player was canceled after this issue, before any awards could be considered.

Now that was cool. Sadly, I never played the game when I was young, but this review really gives a sense of just how revolutionary it must have been.
