This compilation is the third Phantasy Star title in the SEGA AGES 2500 series, and has the four first titles in the series, with both the Japanese and the English versions included, different difficulty settings (have the players gain more experience and money) and extensive galleries for all games:

Phantasy Star (updated with a hiragana message conversation system, and optional sped-up combat and movement).
Phantasy Star II (optional sped-up combat and movement).
Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom (more save points added).
Phantasy Star IV.

As a bonus, the collection sports the eight scenarios of the Phantasy Star II Text Adventure, previously only available through the former Sega Net service. Slightly hidden, this package also contains the two Japan-only Game Gear spin-offs:

- Phantasy Star Gaiden.
- Phantasy Star Adventure.
