Phantasy Star: Fringes of Algo

In 1997, the rare Mega Drive release of Phantasy Star appeared in an eBay auction. At the time, very little information regarding Japanese exclusive releases in the series, such as this game, could be found on the internet. Many people doubted the authenticity of the game, believing it had been released only on the Master System. To quell those doubts, the seller posted scans from the Mega Drive manual, which is different from that of other releases. Since this version of the manual is so rare, those scans have been archived here.

Pages #16 and #17, shown here, introduce the battle system of the game. Menu functions are explained. A large piece of artwork featuring Odin spans the lower portion of the two pages. To the best of my knowledge, this artwork was never printed in any other publication.

I wish I could read all that.

Bumping up this former Image Of The Day!

The Mega Drive Manual sounds interesting.

It really seems interesting ! One of the game missing in my great PS collection !
