Phantasy Star II (Sega Genesis, 1990)

Product Specs

Description

Sega's futuristic role-playing series moves from the 8-bit Master System to the 16-bit Genesis with Phantasy Star II. Something is awry with the computer system known as Mother Brain, which has peacefully monitored the idyllic world of Mota for years. Now the lands are filled with hostile creatures, so a government agent named Rolf recruits an intrepid band of heroes to investigate. From an overhead perspective, you will explore various towns, cities, and buildings, conversing with people, purchasing equipment, and gathering clues to the circumstances leading to the planet's worsening condition. Combat switches the default view to a fixed third-person perspective set behind your party members. Select commands to attack, use special techniques, plan strategies, or flee from danger while engaging in turn-based combat. The six-megabit cartridge includes battery backup for saving your progress to one of four files. A 110-page hint guide is also packaged along with the game to help new adventurers.
