Phantasy Star II, also known as Phantasy Star II Classic, is an emulated version of the 1989 Sega Mega Drive game Phantasy Star II. It was published in 2017 by Sega for Android and iOS devices as part of their free-to-play Sega Forever series. The game had previously been available on iOS since 2010, and on Android as part of the Japan-only PuyoSega service.
In 2019, the game was expanded to include Phantasy Star III and Phantasy Star IV as a compilation and renamed to Phantasy Star Classics.
In 2023, the game was delisted, along with several other entries in the Sega Forever series.[4] It remains playable on devices on which it has already been installed, but it can no longer be downloaded from Google Play or the Apple App Store.

Gameplay
The collection features emulated versions of the three original Sega Mega Drive games, using a controller or on-screen touch controls simulating a Mega Drive control pad. The controls can be customized, and there are options for toggling the music, changing the video resolution (between 4:3, interpolated to fill the full width of the display, or "pixel perfect," using an integer scaling ratio), and using a video filter (Classic for no filter, Smooth for smoothing, or Scanlines for simulated scanlines). There are three slots for save states, which are synced to the cloud, and the player can rewind the game by 30 seconds at any point.
