Collector interest
Phantasy Star Gaiden, a side RPG of Sega's prestigious science-fantasy saga, exclusive to Japan on Game Gear. A secondary adventure extending the Phantasy Star universe on the handheld, it keenly interests fans of a series foundational to the science-fiction JRPG. Its desirability lies in its belonging to a revered pantheon, the absence of a Western edition and the scarcity of RPGs on the console.
An underrated gem
A side story to the great Phantasy Star saga, this JRPG offers a pocket-sized take with its own heroes and a world to wander. Never released outside Japan, it long stayed a blank spot in Western fans' memory. Modest but sincere, it will delight series lovers willing to explore its forgotten margins.
