About
Phoenix is a 1980 arcade shooter that found an early home on Atari 2600. The game tasks players with defending against waves of descending enemies in a vertically-scrolling format, establishing itself as a notable entry in the early arcade-to-console conversion wave. Recently, developer Milasoft brought Phoenix to the Commodore VIC-20 with an ambitious port that attempts to translate the arcade experience to that platform's limited hardware. The VIC-20 conversion represents the latest effort from Milasoft, who have also tackled other classic arcade ports for the system, adapting the original's gameplay across multiple distinct modes for the home computer audience.
