The famous Smithsonian museum is now accepting votes from the public on candidates for their upcoming Art of Video Games exhibit. Three Phantasy Star games are included in the list of candidates: Phantasy Star, Phantasy Star IV, and Phantasy Star Online.
The list of candidates has been broken down into five eras of consoles, with three games from several genres on each console. You can vote on one game in each genre per console, for a total of 80 games. Phantasy Star is going head to head with Heroes of the Lance and Ultima IV: Quest for the Avatar in Era 2. Phantasy Star IV, in Era 3, has strong opposition in the form of Flashback and Shining Force II. For Era 4, Phantasy Star Online has opponents that might be the most difficult to overcome: Shenmue and the other title from the classic Phantasy Star team, Skies of Arcadia.
