Phoenix is a 1980 fixed shooter video game developed and published for arcades. Phoenix was released in Japan by Taito and in the United States by Centuri, where it helped the company turn a profit after a loss the previous year. Atari, Inc. contracted the rights to develop a home port for the Atari 2600 and sued Imagic for their game Demon Attack, which they felt was too similar to Phoenix. The 2600 version was released in 1983.
