The rear dust jacket of
Sega Video Game Illustrations previews some of the artwork contained in the book. Some of these illustrations are cover art from early Sega game releases. Tails, the side kick of Sega's famous mascot Sonic, makes this instantly recognizable as a Sega book. Unfortunately,
Phantasy Star was not chosen to decorate either cover of this book. It has some interesting
Phantasy Star content, however.
