About this game

The Atari 2600 version of Phoenix keeps the core gameplay intact, however the graphics are noticeably reduced in fidelity. The music and the two player mode were also removed.

In this shoot 'em up the player has to fight off four assault waves consisting of different enemy types until he reaches a huge UFO. After destroying the protective plates guarding the UFO's pilot in his cockpit the player can kill the pilot. The game starts anew with harder enemies.
