Does the VC version of Phantasy Star include the FM track? I know the VC version of Wonder Boy in Monster Land does.

I prefer the US intro myself.

Thanks guys, Just wondering is it worth keeping the Sega 32X or should I sell it and get a master system?

I meant the US/PAL VC version. The PAL VC WB2 (lol acronyms) does.

In the long run, it might be worth holding onto the 32x, but that's up to you.

Thanks, if it was you what would you do? I noticed you said it might. I know I got the 32X mostly for Knuckles Chaotix and seeing as I have a model 2 there is not guarantee it will even work.

I don't know, 32x has always been something really, really low priority for me. Master System has a better library though, so I guess if I was put in that position... eh sure, I'd trade the 32x off.

Thanks, does any else agree with this? Also what is a fair price for a Master system.

The master system is mostly region free. All North American, PAL and Brazilian games should work on any master system machine, but Japanese Mark III carts won't because they are the wrong shape.
Indeed, I have the US and European releases of Power Strike (they have different covers) and the cart is exactly the same down to the chip on the board.
