Phantasy Star Gaiden
Journey outside the Algo solar system, to a new star named Copt. In the colony world of Alisaland, young Alec and Mina embark on a quest that leads them to discover secrets they never imagined. Among them is the fate of Alis Landale, heroine of the original Phantasy Star, who returns for another adventure.
A title screen from an early version of the game is shown here. In the final game, this colorful logo was replaced with a more traditional Phantasy Star style logo.
Until 1999, precious little information was available about this game. Due to the game being released only in Japan, most fans of the series didn't even know it existed. This was one of the few sites where you could even find a mention of the game.

Release Information
Phantasy Star Gaiden was the second game in the series released for the Game Gear handheld. Released in October 1992, just a few months after Phantasy Star Adventure, the game was only available in Japan. The game has been officially released only once since then, appearing in Phantasy Star Complete Collection for PlayStation 2.
Thanks to the tireless searching of Naflign and the generosity of Adol, Phantasy Star Gaiden was dumped into a ROM, making it available to all Phantasy Star fans worldwide. In addition, in March 1999, a group known as Magic Translations completed and released an English translation patch for the game (although they did alter the story somewhat from the original version).
