Official Dreamcast Magazine was a North American gaming magazine featuring the Sega Dreamcast and related games. It was published from June 1999 to April 2001, ending shortly after the Dreamcast itself was discontinued in the region. Although the magazine was officially endorsed by Sega, it was published by a third party company, Imagine Media Inc. Thirteen issues, #0 - #12, were published. Each issue included a demo disc for the Dreamcast. The discs included playable demos and videos of various games.
Most issues of the magazine mentioned Phantasy Star Online in some form. For many, the game was merely listed as a title the magazine staff was looking forward to playing in the "Hot List" feature. The issues covered here contained more in-depth coverage than that, all of which was in the form of news and previews for the original Dreamcast version. In issue #12, contents of the next issue were solicited, including a long awaited Phantasy Star Online review. Unfortunately that next issue was never published, leaving the magazine's run without an actual review of the game.
