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...

I experienced more or less the same things you did, what a fun time it was! I remember coming from school back in 1981 and hearing about this new arcade nearby so me and my friends went there, the first thing I heard was the haunting soundtrack of Phoenix! I had to play it!

Wow 😂 As a son of the 70's this brings me back to the good old days of gaming. Galaga, Phoenix, 1942 were among other (shooting) games my favorites 👍🏼🕹

One of the great arcade games of the early 80's. Put so many 10p's in the machine. The Atari 2600 conversion was very good too.

It's amazing hearing the sound of this game immediately makes me remember this game. (From 1981-ish).

This was one merciless game. One of the most difficult of the kind

Yes, one of the earliest games but also one of the best ...🔥🔥

Loved this game, was crap at it but stil played it...lol

I had forgotten about Phoenix but a soon as the video started it brought me back to age 16. A fantastic game.

As soon as the game starts that sound brings back so many memories.

I used to watch only the intro on the console when i was a little boy, because i didn't have any money for the game ;) That was in an "Imbissbude" in Germany. Thx for sharing 👍

Early 80s had this Traveller RPG interstellar sci-fi vibe everywhere. I love it. Sci-fi was just better back in the days.

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.

I loved the whole aspect of having to take out the Mothership -- that is what made this game so much better than Galaxian + Galaga

I was baby and i remeber at 1983 watcing oldest kids to play it for hours...thx for the upload..so many memories

I found this game hard when i was a child prefering galaga or xevious with longer game for one coin. But know i'm very pleased to play it again more than galaga. Hey, i never tried to shoot all the defense of the big boss vessel. I thought he will never stop going down. Thanks to you, i'll try. Great game !

I had beautiful memories with this game.

Classic arcade games! 80's was a great time to be a kid! Duran Duran on the stereo, gulping Coke with pop rocks and spending time with friends.

Brings so meny memories, even the smell of electricity in the Arcades was awesome

I remember playing it as a table top arcade game.

loved this game! the sound of the ship blasting away at the mothership piece by piece is ingrained in my head! lol couldnt remember the name of it and out of nowhere i remembered

Ein Fantastischer Klassiker.

When an arcade game can make your ears burn like red hot coal, you know for certain you are completely immersed in it. For me, Phoenix was that game. Best arcade game of the 80's!

EPIC classic arcade game! One of the first multi-stage shooters with a legitimate Boss battle. Pumped a lot of quarters into this game back in the arcade golden age.

Play this back in the day in the arcade and the Atari 2600 as well. Good times

Happy I have this classic on my phone!! 2022!!

This was one of my favourite and one I could actually complete.. i feel 10 yrs old listening to this now...🥳

I would like to see an arcade1up machine with a lot of these great but lesser known video games like this and Pleiads, Cosmic Avenger, ladybug, Mr do, Locomotion, Zookeeper, Qix, Vanguard, Jungle Hunt, Food Fight, Crazy Climber, Astroblaster, space fury, reactor, Tac/Scan, Zaxxon, Congo bongo, Nibbler, iRobot, etc.

I have it still. Love that game. Galaga is one of my favorites too...

Wow, Thankyou for a walk down memory lane. Thank you so very much!!

One of the all time classic classics.

Great game! They had this in the bar at my dad's rugby club in Croxley Green (UK), I loved it.

One off my alltime favourites! This player is a legand!!I couldn't get past the second base ship..but I was about 10!! Nostalgia! Luv it

Haven't seen old Phoenix in many years. It's not my favorite, but this brought back some memories.

Que tiempos aquellos uno de los mejores juegos de los 80

One of my favorite games of the late 70s and early 80s

nothing better than having a crowd of your friends around when you break high score on Phoenix

Who can *not* love this game? 😊

one of my childhood favorites...crazy gameplay man....my highscore in 2024 so far is like 12000 😂🤣

There's always something so eerie about this game

This and Galaga my all time favorite arcade games 👾 🥰

This game and the bootleg version, "Condor", took many quarters from me in the early 1980's.

one the best arcade games ...

I loved this game so so much. we had a little bar nearby. There was a pinball, billiard, musicbox and one of this brilliant phoenix arcade cocktail style table. Everyday i took my fathers wallet and took some money out to go playing. it was so cool....but than i father noticed it and he gave me a lot of.....ouch my arse 😂😂😂😂😂 but it was the best time of my life. i miss it so so so much. thx for this video.

i was 7 when this came out, i spent so many hours in the arcades. :)

Epic! Thanks for the memories!

So many great memories!!

I played this game at an arcade in Colorado Springs. I found (by accident) that if you had a static charge from the carpet when the token touched the coin plate, it registered as a credit. This became the most cost-effective video game I ever played.

I remember playing this game at the local arcade around 1980 or early 1981.

This is pre-Timezone memories for me. This is the one machine in the milk bar type of game.

I got this game on my Taito Legends compilation for PlayStation 2. Published by Empire Interactive, Released by SEGA in the U.S. in 2005.

Brings back memories for sure !

A masterpiece of the 80's with " Juex Interdits "(Forbidden Games) and " Für Elise " (For Elise) as memorable music !!

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.

A very fun game. Striking sound effects!

Wow! I forgot about this game! Pizza and Root Beer!

Another great arcade game I loved.👍

I could play for hours this game. I remember a made score 950 000

Great arcade memories

um dos melhores jogos que já joguei nos fliperamas! 1984

Never knew that the spaceship stopped before it hit you.

Here is something you never do with this game when the birds are flying up with wings extended never shoot four or more flying in tight formation or you will mess up your game and I don't think un plugging it for so many hours will fix it. just an FYI . 2:31

can’t find a proper MAMA rom. thankful for every hint!!!!

I remember hearing this sound halfway down the road b4 I got there loud as fuck it was knowing I be queing for a ages b4 I had a turn brilliant

I have a feeling this gamer has played this game before. :)

I remember a similar arcade game, but unfortunately not the name, where at times there'd be a robot below your spaceship that moved from side to side and would shoot up an arrow. If it hit you, you'd loose a life.

Lol at 4:50! Showoff! I couldn't beat this enemy as a kid but the WORST enemy I fought was that crazy robot in the old Zaxxon game!

The base ship is visually similar to the Comet Empire in Star Blazers

Cool, you were able to exploit the 200,000 point bonus bug!
