About

Phoenix Games Ltd. acted as the publisher for several late-1990s video games, including the 1995 release King of Bowling and the 1996 horror game D. The company was also responsible for publishing titles like Assault, Legend, and Rox in 1998, which are associated with the Road Rage franchise.
Operating primarily in the European market, the publisher secured distribution rights for niche Japanese titles and localized them for Western audiences. The company's catalog is defined by its contributions to the Road Rage franchise, a series of vehicular combat and action titles that shaped its late-1990s portfolio.
Among these, the PlayStation port of the acclaimed interactive movie D received a distinctive North American style D Long Box] edition, which remains a collector's item. The publisher also distributed [King of Bowling, bringing Japanese sports simulation to a broader audience.
The core of the Road Rage lineup culminated in 1998 with the releases of Assault, Legend, and Rox. To generate market interest, the company distributed a rare Assault [Promo Only] edition to media outlets and retailers prior to the game's official launch. These releases solidified the publisher's strategy of targeting budget-conscious gamers with localized genre titles, leaving a distinct footprint in the fifth-generation console era through these specific physical releases.
