About

Founded in the late 1990s and based in the Netherlands, Phoenix Games B.V. specialized in publishing budget-priced video games for platforms like the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, and PC. They are particularly known for distributing European versions of various international titles, including the 3DO/PlayStation game 'D' and numerous budget game compilations.
The company's early software catalog featured localized editions of prominent interactive movie and adventure titles. Among these was the 1996 release of Kenji Eno's acclaimed horror game D, which was distributed in both standard packaging and a distinctive D [Long Box] edition. As the market transitioned into the late 1990s and early 2000s, the publisher shifted its focus toward family-friendly entertainment, puzzle games, and sports simulations.
During this period, the company released the puzzle game Rox in 1998, followed by a diverse lineup in 2000. This millennium cohort included the aviation-themed title Air, the winter sports simulation Downhill Slalom, and the retro-themed collection Arcade USA. To appeal to value-conscious consumers, they also compiled extensive multi-game packages, most notably Arcade Action: 30 Games in 2000. These releases targeted casual players and helped define the era's accessible retail software market before the company eventually ceased operations.
