Man, I remember the first time I rented Actraiser when the SNES first launched. The graphics and music were so good! I was so hooked on expanding towns.

Jones in the fast lane.
Here is the Flash version recreation. Pretty sure you can even multiplay it.

Phantasy Star(1) was on the Sega Master System, rather than the Genesis(I never played it either). The Genesis had Phantasy Star 2, 3, and 4. PS 2 and 3 were fairly expensive cartridges at the time, they were like $69.99 as opposed to most Genesis games that were $49.99. When Phantasy Star 4 released it was absolutely ridiculous, it was $99.99 MSRP. I didn't end up getting PS4 until years later when it had been discounted, and never did beat it.
Phantasy Star 3 is probably my favorite console RPG of all time, so many branching paths. Have to choose a spouse, then you have a kid, play as that kid and choose another spouse eventually and play as their offspring. With all the choices of spouses, I think you can end up playing as 1 of 6 different characters at the end, each with their own unique storyline.

Not sure why I liked the game more than even Final Fantasy 1-3(2 is the best FF BTW), but for some reason as a kid I liked the heavier sci-fi leanings of the early Phantasy Star games better than Final Fantasy, which didn't have a real heavy sci-fi element in the early games
Phantasy Star 1 was my fist RPG as a kid. 2 was also awesome. 3 had great ideas, but the combat system fell flat for me. However Phantasy Star 4 is easily the best in the series. I put Phantasy Star 4 on the same level as final fantasy 7. Also, a Phantasy Star Generation 1 (you know, the Playstation 2 remake of PS1) was fan translated.

Also sorry no pic.
Worst cover art for great games? More specifically, some of the, if not the, best original cover art ever turned to the worst ever. wtfffff America... seriously...
My mom bought me Phantasy Star 3 for me at Compucenter for 109.99+ tax back in '91. She said that was the last video game she would ever buy me at a price like that.
Boy, was she wrong... FF3 anyone?

Wow I had forgotten about Funcoland. That place was amazing for finding reasonably priced games during the days of 60 - 80 dollar cartridges. Years later, during the time they were going out of business, I drove almost an hour to one to pick up an NES lightgun so I could play Duck Hunt on the NES system I dug out of the attic.
