Phantasy Star

Phantasy Star (Japanese: ファンタシースター) is the first part of Sega's famous RPG series of the same name (see the Phantasy Star series article). It was first released in Japan on December 20, 1987, and was one of the first cartridges to include battery backed RAM for saving game positions. The game featured an amazing (at the time) set of 3D-like dungeons which were like mazes, which the characters could traverse in real time in a first person mode.

The story is about Alis, a girl who sees Nero, her brother, killed and sets out to avenge him. The action begins in a futuristic city complex in a three-planet solar system called Algol. After travelling some underground mazes, the characters get to travel to the other planets in their adventure. There is the option to talk with monsters the characters encounter -- sometimes they are friendly and just leave.
