input ="Phantasy Star Collection" is the name of a
Sega Saturn andGame Boy Advance video game, both a compilation of entries in thePhantasy Star series .Overview
Its first incarnation was released in 1998 on the
Sega Saturn , as part of Sega'sSega Ages series of classics that includedSpace Harrier ,Out Run ,Afterburner , andFantasy Zone . Although the former three games listed emerged in the West as a single compilation, Phantasy Star Collection remains a Japan only title. It included what is considered the main entries in the series, with select enhancements such as the option of playing the games inKatakana orHiragana (they originally were Katakana only), and an optional speed increase for party members inPhantasy Star 3 . Due to the native resolution of theMark III , the originalPhantasy Star is played in a frame.Omake features were also included with the game, such as exclusive arranged music, art galleries, andJapan ese commercials.The
Game Boy Advance version, produced byDigital Eclipse , emerged in 2002. Unlike theSega Saturn release,Phantasy Star IV was not included. The video games themselves were also altered in order to function adequately on the Game Boy Advance's resolution. Aside from a reduced number of save slots available forPhantasy Star andPhantasy Star II , this version does not include any extras.The
PlayStation 2 version, part of Sega's PS2 line ofSega Ages titles, is essentially identical to the Sega Saturn version. UnlikePhantasy Star Generation 1 andPhantasy Star Generation 2 , none of the games have received any enhancements beyond the options included in the Sega Saturn version but therefor are available in their original Japanese version as well as their english localized counterparts.
