Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom now available for VC Europe

When you get the craving for old school RPGs, where do you go? Well, you may want to try Nintendo’s Virtual Console service. It has one classic title that you may want to try out if you hadn’t already done so back in 1991: Phantasy Star 3: Generations of Doom. Go for a stroll down RPG memory lane after the jump.

While the RPGs of today are nifty, sometimes one gets the urge to go retro. There are quite a few classic RPG titles available via Nintendo’s Europe Virtual Console service, and it appears that Sega’s classic Phantasy Star 3: Generations of Doom may just fit the bill.

If you recall, Sega released Phantasy Star 3: Generations of Doom way back in 1991 for its Mega Drive-slash-Genesis console. It was a unique RPG for its time in the sense that its story actually spanned different generations within the same game.

Depending on who the characters of Rhys, Ayn and Nial eventually marry, gamers will take control of different characters in the succeeding generation. Needless to say, this makes for a lot of “what if”scenarios.

In case you’re wondering, you may download Sega’s Phantasy Star 3: Generations of Doom for 800 Wii Points via the European Virtual Console service.
