Here is a complete (and no less pointless) summary of all the PS
material I own. All items are American versions unless noted. I'm not
selling any of it, so don't ask.

Phantasy Star I
Hintbook (Japanese)
We never received the corresponding book in the U.S., but this hintbook

Nearly four years after buying tape copies, I finally acquired the real

admit... but then, what good is money, if not to buy stuff with? |
 |

Official Sega Dreamcast Magazine
(Premier Issue)
What does this magazine have to do with Phantasy Star? Well, nothing much...
except that it plugs this very site, the PSPages, in its 'Sites to See'
section! It cost me $5 in August of 1999. |
 |
Game Wave Magazine
