| | Phantasy Star II - Re-Retroview |
 | | The original Phantasy Star came to America in 1988 for Sega’s 8-bit Master System, being the country’s first true console role-playing game, and very advanced for its time, what primarily with its top-notch visuals. |
 | | Phantasy Star II, like the original, has random encounters (the rate thankfully isn’t too high), with up to four characters participating in battle. |
 | | Finally, Phantasy Star II is hard, especially with the last two bosses, and can take anywhere from twenty-five to forty-five hours to complete, depending upon whether or not the player chooses to level up frequently and maybe try their hand at robbing shops. |
