Episode 131: Phantasy Star Online Special

You are now dialled in to a brand new DreamPod special on the Dreamcast's ultimate multiplayer killer app: Phantasy Star Online, or - in Lozz's words - "the greatest f***ing game in the world. Period." Back in 2001, PSO broke new ground by bringing an online RPG experience to console, but did you know that you can still play PSO online on your Dreamcast in 2024?

Assembled in The Dreamcast Junkyard lobby this time round are Lozz, Mark (aka MazGamingUK), Brian and Harvey (aka Pizza Hotline) to talk all about what makes Phantasy Star Online's revolutionary console RPG goodness so darn special. They also recount their first memories of the game, think of questions they'd want to ask the game's developers if they had the chance, and take on Lozz's "Who Want to be a Mesetanaire" PSO quiz...
