View Full Version : Did Phantasy Star for the SMS come with a map?
I was trying to find out the other day if Phantasy Star came with a map or if it just had one in the instruction book. So if anybody can help me clear this up I would greatly appreciate it.

I belive that there was only the partial map inside of the instruction manual.

Nope, just box, cart, manual.

I looked it up last night for you and found a page of a guy that collects phantasy Star and had multiple copes of PS1, none of them included a map.
I'm going to assume that it does not have a map besides what's actually in the manual.

You know, I have the Brazialian, American, European and Japanese, and Megadrive (rerelease) releases of PS, and I could have sworn at least one or two of them came with a map.
I will check when I get home.

Well, It looks like none of them have maps. However, I don't even have the instructions for the Braazilian one, though I doubt it had a map. :-) Not even the Mega Drive remake had one. I think what made me think that they did was that some of them came with posters for Seag products.
I do have a map/hint book that was sold seperately for the Mark III vversion (I might even have two....I'd have to do a bit of digging for that!).

Thanks for the help guys!
I have seen phantasy star TODAY with a map inside but with no instructions. So I almost positive it came with one.

Phantasy Star II came with a map, so that may be the source of some of the confusion.
haha ... so there is still the slight possibility that phantasy star 1 came with a map ... confusing.

Well I know for a fact that US, and Japanese PS 2 and 3 came with maps. Can't say so for other regions (I"m pretty sure the UK ones did). Actually, If I remember correctly, the Brazilian Portuguese PS3 did not have a map, since I got one sealed....I should double check this, but I believe it is accurate.
I'm having a brain fart about PS IV tho...can't remember.
Nez, can you double check this PS1 you saw, please?
Yours,
Rob

Does anyone know if the Japanese PS Collection for Saturn came with one?
BTW, the GBA PS Collection does not have a map either.

The PS Mega Drive rerelease doesn't have a map...if anything would've come with a map, that would be it - seeing how PS IV, which came out about four months earlier (in December '93, same as DOOM!), had one.

there definitely was NO map. when i first played the game with my younger brother about 15 years ago, we got hopelessly stuck in baya malay with all those floor drops and traps. i wrote sega (using the address on the back of the case), asking for help and a few weeks later a THICK envelope showed up with a walkthrough and maps for all the areas in the game. too bad i don't have it anymore (it's probably worth a small fortune, lol), but i DO have my lord of the sword walkthrough they sent along a bit later... :D
And the mystery is solved! Thanks a lot guys ... really appreciate the help on that one.

The quest is on! I must find one of these!
FUnny you mention that. I remember requesting some hints and instructions from Sega and they sent me these typed instriuctions for some games. I should saved those too....damn. I totally forgot about those.

believe me, i've looked EVERYWHERE for it here, lol. i have every other letter i got from sega (about 11 or 12) here stored away, and i think i was able to find the envelope the ps stuff came in, but no maps... :o maybe dark falz needed them back, LOL (cue phantasy star end credits)... :D
