History
Phoenix Games, known as Phoenix Games Ltd. in England, Phoenix Games B.V. in the Netherlands, Phoenix Games Asia in Thailand, and collectively as Phoenix Games Group, is a defunct game developer, and publisher of cheap franchise spinoffs. Self termed a “Super Budget Publisher,” Phoenix Games’ business model was to produce as many low quality, easy to produce games as possible. Most of the games are rated 3+ by PEGI, which probably was to the benefit of their target demographic: everyone. It was active between 2003 and 2009 and sold to markets globally. The remnants of its website, which include its list of games, are available at archive.org.
Games by Phoenix Games were often produced as mini-game collections. They typically included card games, arcade games, jigsaw puzzles, and others. Phoenix Games also often made games with titles and themes similar to Disney franchises, but were able to get around copyright infringement by making them odd. In addition, they would port the games to other consoles with the same features, and create “sequels” for newer consoles (e.g. Iron Chef for the PS2 had a “sequel” called Iron Chef II on the Wii).
