When we counted down Electronic Gaming Monthly’s Top 10 Phantasy Star Games earlier this week, you probably thought that was it. The critics have spoken and we can move on from Sega’s futuristic role-playing franchise. But not so fast, because there’s another part of Phantasy Star’s past that I feel like we need to talk about. It’s a dark, twisted tale of how Sega committed the ultimate video game sin. Okay, it’s not that bad, but that’s definitely how the media treated it at the time. This is the story of how a simple strategy guide ruined Phantasy Star.
