Game Description:
Phantasy Star is a role playing game for the Sega Master System, and the first in the Phantasy Star series. It’s also one of the earliest JRPGs, and considered a pioneer in the genre. It was critically acclaimed for its scope, lush graphics, animations, 3D dungeons (a first for JRPGs), and for its blend of science fiction and fantasy elements.
Translation Description:
This patch is complete and features a number of core changes to the game engine to include the following (from the readme):
- 2-line naming terminology
- Narrative formatting
- Window expansion
- Replaced 8×8 font
- Use of adapting indefinite articles
- Reworked name entry screen
- FM/PSG switching (press Pause on the title screen)
I’m not sure why the game was re-translated, but the hacking is top-notch. So, check it out!
In the latest version (1.02) the following changes have been made since 1.00:
- Checksum fixed for play on a real system
- Fixed a bug with the Pause button mod
- Fixed lockup when you visit Tajim
