I have a bit of a soft spot for the Sega Mega Drive, especially with my ever growing collection of great games, such as FINK, Golden Axe, Mickey Mania and my personal favorite Comix Zone. So to find out that RetroLover was aiming to port the Sega Mega Drive game of ‘Phantasy Star II’ over to the Commodore Amiga, this certainly caught my interest. Sure, it’s still in a very early stage of development, and at one point I wasn’t sure if it was going to go any further at all, we are pleased to show you the latest demo footage.

And here’s the latest details in brief. “This project is a tribute to the Amiga and to the legendary RPG for Sega MegaDrive, my goal is to bring back my favourite RPG of all time and give it to the Amiga. The game’s aesthetic remains faithful to the original, all the elements that made Phantasy Star 2 a TRUE ICON as an RPG are preserved, and finally I’m aiming to make the full game run on an Amiga 500, but I’ve just started learning to develop on Scorpion Engine so for now I want to go as far as possible even if it will run on A1200 only”

UPDATE : The developer has released a new build, and here is what he has said “Hello hunters, the time is come! I’ve spent a lot of time to improve the game (and had so much fun doing it), finally the game is playable! I really hope you enjoy it, please take a look to the info file for controls and general info. Time to go fight biomonsters, see you very soon, oh… and enjoy the new superfast menu (I will fix it ASAP sorry if at the edge of maps is glitchy)”.
