Comment: "I played this game so good, that I needed three coins usually, daily: first to warm up, second to high score, third to cool off ;-)
I managed to reset the counter while playing (yes, reached over 1 million), and folks, there was no extra lives after that, even if you reached, 3K, 4K, 5K 6K point after the reset (3-6K is owner-set paramter for when to get additional lives).
I consider myself the master of the game, it is very much fun, and not boring at all, even with only 5 diff levels to play ove r and over again...
There are few tricks to acquire extra points, but that is to be classified... :-)"

Comment: "I remember playing Phoenix in 81 at a local convenience store that had this and Eagle before it, and I always tend to remind one from the other. Yet, Phoenix is a fun game to play, the mothership board gets me fired up! I hope to own one someday, awesome game! Right up there w/ Eagle as an all-time fave."

Comment: "It's a combination of the screechy sound FX of the birds, and the irritant, sneaky way they move, what attracted me to this curious game. I was too young to be good at it.. but I liked to see that snake thing [what is it actually?] inside the mother ship getting blown up by some good player."

Comment: "This game must have been a cheap hire/buy back in those days - every arcade had a cabinet. Great game - especially the diving swooping Phoenix(es - plural?) - they were a pain to hit. You`d probably stand there for 15 minutes trying to hit the last one, right in the centre. You could knock the wings off with knock real effect. I must get this for Mame..."

Comment: "Phoenix is as great a game as you could get in 1980. I just purchased a cocktail table version of the game. I plan to restore it to its former glory."
