While browsing some old Sega Master System stuff. I came across some very interesting cover scans for Phantasy Star 1. I quite like the South Korean Box art. :wink:

Very interesting find. The South Korean cover art is very beautiful.

Hey, it's purple-hair Alis on the South Korean cover art. I guess the person who colored that must have been influenced by PS Gaiden.

Kidding aside, it actually has a pretty nice pose for Alis. I wish the artist had used more original poses for Odin and Noah, instead of coping them from the Japan cover art.

Awesome find Lucas. Can't say I ever saw these before. IT's pretty sweet what people can find when they look huh.

Wow- the South Korean version almost looks like it was drawn by Reiko Kodama, actually. At least it reminds me of her artwork for PS1. :)
