Phantasy Star II: Huey's Adventure (ファンタシースターII テキストアドベンチャー ヒューイの冒険) is a Visual Text Adventure game developed and published by Sega for the Sega Mega Drive. It was initially only available in Japan as a download through the Sega Game Toshokan service, but later would be re-released on the Game no Kanzume series for Sega Mega CD, SEGA AGES 2500 Vol 32 Phantasy Star Complete Collection, and part of Sega's B-Club service.

Plotline
The game takes place in the summer of AW 1284, shortly before the events of Phantasy Star II.
Hugh Thompson (Japanese: ヒューイ・リーン (Hyūi Lean or Huey Reane)) is a scholar in biology at Motavia University. He's called in by the University president to investigate an incident involving an energy-sapping plant creature roaming the campus, feeding itself on electricity and steadily growing larger in the process. After the creature spreads itself through the college's reactor over to the main energy center, threatening to deprive the entire town of Kvarts of its electricity, Hugh sets out to try and stop it. This adventure is what eventually drives Hugh to adapt his knowledge of anatomy to combat biomonsters, in the aid of Rolf in Phantasy Star II.
