Hope you all enjoyed the video. I know the format is different but felt like doing something a bit different. Also, let me know if you want to see more videos like this, because I'm not running out of shovelware anytime soon.

8:08 If you ever listen to a song again and think it's bad, just remember what this mess sounds like... I love your videos and I thank the algorithm for recommending your channel to me!

[@TyrKohout]

I'm amazed at how small your channel is compared to the quality of your content! You're making great videos and I'm sure you'll see some great growth. Very entertaining throughout. Great job!

[@SpiceLordofCinder]

Thanks, really glad you enjoyed the video.

[@trevorblue4531]

Iron Chef is like Burgertime! Why are the drag racer's wheels stuck in the ground!? And, I think Roller Coaster Funfare was meant to be a pun, as in it's a selection of gaming fare, like a food selection of Italian fare!

I am dumbfounded at the price of ocean commander…

[@SpiceLordofCinder]

A lot of Phoenix games are actually really expensive due to how rare physical copies are. I think Ocean Commander was only ever released in the UK and Italy, which is why it's so expensive.

[@rootpaste]

it was actually also released in north america, but only on the wii and it wasn't published by phoenix games. the price for the wii version is only about 8-15 dollars.

[@kaykutcher2103]

Surprised Pinocchiooooooooooooooooo had voice actors and wasn't just a neverending comic sans scroll.

[@Gamedraco]

You should do one for Stellar Stone that is the infamous developer behind Big Rigs Over The Road Racing.

[@critarc]

They published Touge 3 over here too as Road Rage 3 surprisingly fun game

[@youtubecreators789]

Nice now can you do the team 6 version of this series

[@SpiceLordofCinder]

Can't wait to play Tesco Ice Racing

[@1mdemirci]

Taxi 3: Extreme Rush can be a good shout

[@bouncingbluesoul5270]

Phoenix was a weird one. They were part British/Dutch and had offices based in Birmingham and Amsterdam.

[@1mdemirci]

There are some games from Phoenix Games that are missing, and from what you've missed, I can recommend playing Turbo Trucks, White Van Racer and RC Toy Machines.

[@SpiceLordofCinder]

I had to miss out on a lot of their games because the sheer number of Phoenix games is staggering.

[@VS-eb8vk]

I remember playing Ocean Commander on the Wii as a kid. Now that I know how horrible Phoenix Games were, thinking about how I used to own a game from one of the worst video game companies ever makes me feel a little weird.

[@VSDeluxe]

As someone who owns a copy of Moto X Maniac I can say: no it's not your emulator.

[@1mdemirci]

Ocean Commander might be a clone of Heavy Weapon I think, since the game hugely reminds me of Heavy Weapon game from PopCap Games. Still looks like a good game though despite my suspicions in terms of its originality.

[@warmaster3544]

Crazy adventure looks like something you play on big fish games… can anyone tell me what the Egyptian version of this game is called?

[@trevorblue4531]

Crabby Adventure / Zuma!

[@futurep9094]

crabby adventure is just a rip off of zuma

[@KaitoSuperweapon667]

AVGN is gonna have a field day with these crappy games; Phoenix Games' games are so bad they LJN games look good by comparison

[@GTRBLACK35]

Road Rage 3 is actually good

[@Jamie_06]

I don't even think if phoenix games published any games by criterion games it would still be a crap game because its publish by phoenix games

[@zchosen2524]

Laughably awful, quite the 'fun' cluster of games lol

[@SpiceLordofCinder]

Yeah Phoenix definitely went with the quantity over quality approach when it came to their games.

[@Jamie_06]

I know it isn't a shit game but could you make a video on real racing 3

[@tylern6420]

The Digital Homicide of the Playstation

[@erainmartinez8175]

why are there so many racing that sucks?

[@SpiceLordofCinder]

My best guess is that making/re-skinning these types of games was the easiest for Phoenix, but I'm not entirely sure.

[@dre2440]

All those games were made low budgetly wat can u except 😂
