Sega's Revolutionary JRPG | Gods of Retro #7: Phantasy Star

This episode marks the beginning of a Phantasy Star series. We're going through every game from Sega's most important JRPG franchise. All of the old (2D) ones, at least, and not just the four main titles. The first Phantasy Star is a popular title, and I'm confident that this is the most comprehensive lore source about it. The episode also puts effort into highlighting exactly how groundbreaking a game it was, as far as production quality goes.

The Revolutionary 80s Computer RPG | Gods of Retro #6: Dungeon Master with AshSaidHi

Watch AshSaidHi's retrogaming streams here: https://www.twitch.tv/ashsaidhi [https://www.twitch.tv/ashsaidhi] Gods of Retro #5: Dungeon Master with AshSaidHi AshSaidHi joins Gods of Retro to share her experience with Dungeon Master, which was easily the most influential game in the western computer video game sphere since Wizardry and Ultima released 6-7 years prior. A dungeon crawler, a RPG or a CRPG (Computer RPG), Dungeon Master set itself apart by renouncing the D&D tropes in favor of a simplified system which left no room for unused stats, numbers or bloat. This was the ultimate experience in video game immersion.
