DescriptionA spaceship which moves left and right horizontally at the bottom of the screen must destroy bird-shaped spaceships, birds, and finally a mothership at the end of each level. The player's ship is equipped with a shield that requires seven seconds to regenerate before it can be used again.Know anything more about this game? Cheats, Tricks and BugsThis trick has to do with the birds as seen on the first board. As they are flying away from you in a diagonal direction (that is, when they spread their wings), shoot three within two or three seconds for a 200,000 point bonus. Normally, these birds only score 200 points each. This trick will work on any board with those kinds of birds. The easiest board is the second one because of your ability to rapid fire.MiscellaneousLicensed to Centuri for US manufacture and distribution.Play a JAVA emulated version of the game by visiting http://web.utanet.at/nkehrer/JPhoenix.html Scarcity in collections (VAPS.org)Very Common - There are 138 known instances of this game owned by one of our 900 members.

Wanted - There are 7 VAPS members currently looking for this game. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operatos might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector.
