| | Phoenix at Arcade-History.com - A coin-operated game & machine database project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | Phoenix adds to the basic formula by including large multi-part enemies (the 'Phoenixes' themselves), a "shield" button (that takes seven seconds to "regenerate" after use) and a large mothership level. |
 | | Despite its hardware issues, Phoenix's many gameplay innovations ensured that it now is rightly regarded as a classic and, along with Taito's "Space Invaders" and Namco's "Pac-Man" shares the dubious honour of being one of the most cloned games of the 1980s; with numerous console and home computer 'tributes' appearing. |
