Well, we stopped letting kids wander -- certainly that has an impact on the statistics.
Incidentally, there are remakes of the first two for PS2, released under the Sega AGES line of discount games. Unfortunately, only in Japanese at the time I played, though translation patches are now available. They’re called Phantasy Star Generation 1 and 2. There is also a release of a compilation of the original games for PS2.
Oops. Yea. It works great as your first game. I recommend PSIV->PSII->PSIII and maybe skip the original unless you're really into it. It's quite outdated.
The original is still a great game. But I'd recommend the `Sega Ages` version on the Nintendo Switch rather than the original because the Sega Ages version includes a couple of quality of life improvements such as a map of the dungeons. It's also a lot less "grindy".
I might agree with you if it wasn't for those annoying trap doors. I got so lost as a result of them back when I originally rented the game back in the 90s that I never managed to complete it.
Yes but helix for example has very good discoverability by presenting commands on the screen which you can read slowly or not even notice between memorized key presses. And even ancient editors like vi it means printing out or having the commands listed in a window to reference which is a far cry from developer level ability.
