For years now, many gamers have wondered what Sega’s plans are concerning their back catalogue of games. We’ve seen a few brands rise from their graves, like OutRun and Ecco the Dolphin, but there’s growing concern about the future of two of their premier RPG series: The Shining games and Phantasy Star. Where are they going? Will we ever see new entries in the classic style?

Hands-On: Phantasy Star Collection (GBA)

Adventures of Batman & Robin: A Sega CD Landmark
