PSO Promotional - already 15 years

A discussion in another topic made me remember this video so I re-watched it for the heck of it. When I first saw this in 1999, I went mad with anticipation, I wanted this game so bad and God knows I have played the heck out of it for hundreds and hundreds of hours.

This video still makes me shiver. It's been 15 years. Where does the time go?

I feel old.

"Within the virtual world, the internet."

Ah yes, I remember downoading this video after I got into the game in. Must have been sometime in 2002 or 2003 when I became obsessed with PSO data collection. And yes, my how the time has flown by. Seems like only yesterday I was sitting in this very room at this very desk, in a far less comfortable chair, playing PSO on the official Dreamcast servers. Also seems like only yestersay that I was a mere few months behind adding in-game pictures to my website... eight years behind isn't really so bad, or so I keep telling myself.


Hard to believe this is an example of a current advertisement they now use for PSO(s):

... what the fridge...

Why are they dragging my beautiful Phantasy Star into.... whatever that is?

That reminds me of plenty of manga I've read. The sad thing is, seeing it live action just doesn't work. At all.
