Translation Game Gear

Phantasy Star Gaiden English translation

ファンタシースター外伝

Taskforce and Dynamic-Designs' English translation of the Japan-only Game Gear Phantasy Star side story.

What it is

Taskforce and Dynamic-Designs released this English patch in November 1999, and it is listed as fully playable. It is one of the early fan translations of the Sega era and opens up a Phantasy Star spin-off that Sega never brought to the West.

What's translated

The story, dialogue, menus and battle text are in English. The release also comes in a variant that keeps Sega's original font instead of the patch's own.

Playing it

The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese Game Gear cartridge, following the included instructions. Get it from the translation's page linked below.
