    Phoenix was an awesome game.
    1979 to 1983 was an amazing time to be a kid and play all these arcade games

      It's overshadowed by it's Galaga trilogy succcessors and in my mind it's a better game in several ways.

    Man.... this game takes me back to when I was a young kid the 80's. At that time, I lived near downtown in my city. The only place in that area that had a _'Phoenix'_ arcade machine was the old Greyhound bus terminal. My cousin, my friends and I used to go in there to play this game, along with a few others that they had like _'Galaxian',_ _'Moon Patrol',_ _'Defender',_ _'Galaga'_ and _'Vanguard'._
    So many good memories of riding around on our "BMX" bikes, pooling our money together and buying sodas, candy, STAR WARS trading cards, stealing kisses from girls we liked and saving quarters for video games at local shops. Throwing caution to the wind and just letting the moment take us wherever it did. Some of the best times I ever had in my entire life, with old friends, now long gone. So glad I spent most of my childhood in the late 70's and all of the 80's. There will never be magical days like those ever again...
    Awesome video upload here... Thanks for the much-needed trip down memory lane, bittersweet as it was/is...

    This was one of my go to arcade games in the 80s. Funny Galaxian and even Galaga were already out but I preferred this game because of its unique elements. It had those giant birds and even a mothership level. The gameplay was a bit more rough around the edges but it was ahead of it's time. When you have played a lot of arcade games some of the most obscure and lesser known titles are personal favorites.

    Interestingly, this game’s sound hardware utilized the sound chip from an electronic musical doorbell!! This fascinates me, because chiptune music was originally invented for video games, then people realized that solid state sound chips were a good replacement for mechanical music box mechanisms and invented pre-programmed melody chips for use in things like ice cream trucks and cheap electronic musical appliances. Then we came full circle by using a low-cost melody chip in this game!!! This all happened in only the course of 5 years.
