For anyone who doesn't know, I have a twin brother. You'd think that we have similar tastes in video games, but even though there are many games we both enjoy, he tends to have an intense hatred for a lot of the games I like (i.e. Mega Man or any fighting game that isn't Smash Bros. or Mortal Kombat). Sadly, the Phantasy Star series is another of those instances, or so I thought.
A few weeks ago, we were at a flea market and he bought a copy of Phantasy Star II on Genesis with everything minus the map and hint book. Since he likes to collect games (he had recently been collecting complete copies of early Genesis games), I didn't think anything of it. Lately, however, I've noticed that he yanks out a cartridge every time I walk into his room (not to snoop, mind you, just to chat and hang out with him). At first, I wondered why he would be doing that, but I slowly grinned when I saw PSII in the Genesis today. I'm guessing he's been too prideful to admit it to me. Still, I've never been so proud of him. Maybe Mega Man and Street Fighter will be next!
