Phantasy Star Online – Dreamcast Retrospective

Like the Sega Dreamcast itself, Phantasy Star Online was ambitious and ahead of its time. As common-place as the massively-multiplayer online genre is today, ten years ago dial-up internet connections and offline-only home consoles meant they were confined to PCs. However, Sega could make that leap thanks to what was considered the first true online service for a console, and with respected studio Sonic Team behind it, Phantasy Star Online quickly became a fan-favourite and the perfect showcase for the platform.
