Well just the PC CGA Version
This would be worth a graphic upgrade, all other versions look a lot better than this, unfortunately it never got a VGA version. Well it's about game play and not graphic or sound. It still is a kick in the butt, when you remember the C64 graphic and get this ;-)

One of the best forgotten old RPGs
I'm a bit biased, as one of my earliest gaming memories is the Phantasie series, notably Phantasie III, where your characters can get beheaded, backs and necks broken like the Iron Sheik was there, and so on. Even so, for the era, Phantasie is an unusually solid series. Compared to it's contemporaries, Bard's Tale and Wizardry, which I do love, Phantasie is stuffed with world building and detail other more famous RPGs lacked. A number of scrolls in each game give clues and expand the world you're exploring to more than just featureless dungeons, and the dungeons themselves are logically laid out, rooms and caverns giving you descriptive details about them, choices to be made, and knowledge to be gained. Few games of this era even had information to give, much less given as a reward for rescuing an NPC. Only Ultima was more detailed, and that only by the (excellent) fourth entry. Combat is a standard Wizardry-style menu driven affair, though well done. Classes and characters are pretty much standard AD&D based, Fighter, Wizard, Priest, Thief, Ranger, and Monk, though the Monk isn't the unarmed combatant of later Bard's Tale and wizardry design. The big difference is the races, while you have the usual Elf, Human, and Dwarf, and so on, you can also create a random race character, with Minotaurs, Sprites, Pixies, Orcs, and other monsters as options. One weakness of this collection is the choice of game versions. Phantasie I and III are the horrid CGA DOS versions; no CGA composite mode even, just 4 color nauseating CGA. Phantasie II is run through an Apple II emulator. This means that you can't transfer a party through the entire series, but more importantly, there are better versions. The Atari ST for example had all three games available, with much much better graphics, and even mouse support. The Amiga at least had 1 and 3. It is also missing documentation, though readily available elsewhere, it shouldn't have been left out. Still worth the price, IMO.

Brings back memories
I think this was one of my first games on the 64. Sure would have been nice if you'd ported that version. 8 colors is a lot better than ibm's 4. Copy protection is still active so you have to go out and find the original manual. Come on GOG do your research.

Golden oldie
I remember playing Phantasie and Phantasie3 on an Amiga500 when I was a kid. Playing again on my pc it is an enjoyable romp through nostalgia, albeit with a minor mixed blessing. Having played the games on my amiga500 in the past, the graphics in these versions feel.... underwhelming... to put it nicely. It's nice to romp through the old games again, although a part of me longs for a modern remake with decent graphics and a better interface.
