It's about time Phantasy Star hit the VC! Even though this is one of the worse PS games (tied with 3 and worse than 1 and 4,) it's still well worth $8. Giving it 4/5 stars because it's not PS4 or PS1 and it's on Sega Genesis Collection.
Whatever you think of this games, get Sega Genesis (Mega Drive since most of the people here seem to be from Europe) Collection for PS2 or PSP instead. I don't know about in Europe, but in the US you can get a used PS2 and SGC for less than all the SG games on VC- and then you can also play other PS2 games.
Not bad per se, but kind of pointless with Battle Lode Runner out. For 100 more points, you get twice as many levels, better graphics and sound, battle mode, and a better level editor. If I'm not mistaken, a lot of levels here are in BLR as well.
Not for everyone- but my wife and I have enjoyed sitting down and figuring out the dungeons. Going back to level 1 doesn't seem so bad if you just think of each dungeon as a self-contained RPG. You really just have to sit down for anywhere from 45 minutes to a few hours (depending on the size of the dungeon- it's really hard to pick up in the middle of a dungeon) and explore, figure out the layout, where the monsters are, the good level-up spots, etc... like solving a puzzle. Still not for everyone, though.

Re: Bubble Bobble
BEST arcade game EVER. The only reason I won't be getting it is because I already have 3 different versions, including the NES one.

Re: Super Thunder Blade
Inferior Space Harrier clone in every possible way. Really pointless with SH2 on VC.
