Bernie passed Phantasy Star II and III along to me in a raffle and I've tried a couple of times to get into both and neither one has been able to suck me in. I keep thinking I'll give them another go one of these days.
The dungeon exploring in PS1 blew me away back in the day. I picked up a Phantasy Star Collection for the GBA and have tried getting into the first one again, but that one hasn't stuck yet either....
EDIT: I just wanted to add that I thought it was a great episode and love the atmosphere of the PS games. Phantasy Star Online is probably singularly responsible for me holding onto my Dreamcast, though Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Crazy Taxi, Soul Calibur and Space Channel 5 help!
