That is such a funny story! You are lucky that you did not have that issue with Phantasy Star II as you would have probably burned the adapter by the time you reach Mother Brain! Did you complete any of the guild quests in PS IV?
The main reason of why I asked you if you visited the site back then is because I am hoping that there is some maniac out there that incidentally made a screenshot of that design. I have been planning to open a PS Cave history page and that is the only design that I am missing. I have screens of the oldest design, and the yellow one. We are currently at (very) early stages of redesigning the entire site into a more current layout, especially considering how monitors have improved since I originally went with the yellow. Back then, it appeared as a very light yellow background, nowdays the yellow is showed with strong contrast and (almost) annoying.
Cheers for the comment regardless, and the credit should really go to the mods and the countless of fans that have contributed to the site throughout the years. I look forward to get to know you better in the shoutbox!
