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 Since this version of the manual is so rare, those scans have been archived here.
