Villordsutch counts down Your Sinclair’s Top 100 ZX Spectrum Games…
Continuing on with the Your Sinclair Top 100 ZX Spectrum games ever made the next game on our list is Pheenix from Megadodo.
Megadodo released three games in total – including Pheenix – and other than they share the same name of the publishing company behind the fictional Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy not much else is known about them. Still they brought Pheenix into the light so thanks has to be given for that.
Pheenix was an arcade conversion of Phoenix by Amstar Electronics, though given an ever so subtle name change it still played rather well. Extremely well programmed considering the machine at the time had such a small memory (only 16K!), To put this into context an icon – not an app – on your iPhone screen is about 10x bigger than that in file size. Even with this limited amount of power these Space-Budgies are certainly no push-over!
