Fossil Arcade casts it's eye on Phatansy Star Online (Episode I & II), SEGA's pioneering MMORPG which began life on the Sega Dreamcast back in 1999. But how does the refined Gamecube edition hold up today, and will you be tempted to take the leap online all these years later?!

For some reason remembered this game and was watching youtube videos of it when I found your video. Man so much nostalgia! Also when I was younger and played this my friends and I played split screen. It would have blown our minds if we knew we could play it online lol. Great video, definitely subscribing!

@youngchris372 4 года назад

It's awesome to see someone produce a quality review of this game! I currently play it for several hours every day and recently came to the conclusion that it is my number 1 slot (of all time) - this is based on hours spent as well as other things. I mix offline and online depending on what I'm trying to do in the game at any given time but do hit-up schtserv regularly. My characters are "Lightning" (HUnewearl), "Orgun" (HUcast) and "Raiden" (FOmar) - It would be pretty cool to get a game or two one time if you ever play. I'm pretty sure I'll know who you are based on the handles used in your videos and I actually recognised some of the regulars while I was watching! :P Great review mate - keep up the good work! ;)

@FossilArcade 4 года назад

Thanks a lot! Sadly, through various memory card "experiments" these characters are long gone now. But I always have "FOSSIL" in my name. My current avatar is literally Tails.

@youngchris372 4 года назад

@@FossilArcadeCool man, if you're ever up for a game give me a shout. You could even ask one of the server admins to re-skin your character to actually look like Tails from Sonic!

I on Dreamcast saw the GM's dressed as tails Sonic and knuckles and also them dropping mag kits Wich they had also mags of tails Sonic and knuckles that did happen and did exist hacks afterwards

@JeffreyOsb 5 лет назад

I supported PSO during it's DC days, it's GC days, even it's PC BB days, (Blue Burst). It's currently in PSO2 mode and I generally prefer PSO to PSO2. As strange as that sounds... Perhaps it's nostalgia or the way it lost its way in terms of gameplay but that's just my preference.

@haazenpfeffer 5 лет назад

Love this game so much. Spent over a thousand hours playing back in the day, and have a couple maxed out characters!

@MrPanda2002 6 лет назад

Great review! I remember being so excited to get this as my first online game. Unfortunately, we never got the online to work and so I had to return the broadband adapter. :( I had moderate fun with the single-player, but I've always wondered what it would have been like to play for real, so this was a great look at what I missed!

@DeafeningCha 3 года назад

Okay, I'm confused. At 35 seconds there's a message on the right side of the screen saying someone received a HEAVEN STRIKER, and there's even some kind of floor reader active, as it shows the attributes of the weapon. That weapon is only supposed to be found in the Blue Burst version in an episode 4 map, did schtserv put content from episode 4 into the GameCube version? If so, that's pretty cool and I might actually try to connect to their servers and play there.

@FossilArcade 3 года назад

Yes, I believe that is the case

@HansHackfress 2 года назад

No, they didn't put Ep4 content into PSOGC. However, the Schthack server also hosts PSOBB so whenever a player on any version of the game finds something "really good", a server-wide message showing the item name and stats is displayed for everyone online. Since the name "HEAVEN STRIKER" wouldn't be on the PSOGC disk, one can assume the server simply announces the item name as text.

@TehJellyLord 2 года назад

Yeah I am gonna have to wait until I graduate to give this a shot... The game (just episode i and ii) is like $50+ which isn't bad on its own, but I would wanna play on a GameCube and the LAN adapters are absurdly priced.

@FossilArcade 2 года назад

Worth treating yourself once you've passed, though it's a lot cheaper on Wii. Just a thought.

@TehJellyLord 2 года назад

@@FossilArcade Thanks for the heads up! I will certainly look into it. I also didn't realize you could play offline in splitscreen, so I think I will likely just play it like that with some buddies. I think it is something we could all really get into. Awesom video by the way!!!

I read somewhere on GBATemp that with older versions of Devolution, and with older Wii models, you can bypass the AP on Devolution by veryfying a backup disc as if it was an original game, haven't tried myself yet bc I'm fucking retarded and I got someone else to mod my Wii so most of the terms they use is gibberish to me, but it seems that some people managed to play online without having the retail disc that way.
