Welcome to the home page of Phoenix for the TI-82! Phoenix is a fast-paced shoot-em-up game written In pure Z80 assembly language. A shell is required to run this game. Note that the current version of Phoenix is now for the ACE shell, available here. If you are still using the older Ash or CrASH shells, you will not be able to run this version, but you can still use the version 1.51 for CrASH if you have CrASH installed.

• Numerous action-packed levels with many enemy types
• Up to 52 objects on-screen simulataneously
• External level capability
• Companion ship for the player

• Ability to save the game at any point
