On August 3, 1999, Spectrum Zone, the predecessor of Computer Emuzone [CEZ], was launched. So, we are celebrating our 25th anniversary, and it is worth saying so, even though we have not been able to prepare anything special. We will continue here as long as we can. Thanks for everything!

What good times this game made us play in front of the computer! The only problem was how fast it ends - I finished it in one afternoon, and I'm not incredibly good with video games. MicroHobby gave it a 9 in difficulty? It would be to achieve the graph of scores had all the red bars, that is more beautiful :-D. By the way, the reviewer had a slip with the name of the game, at the end of the comment. Check it yourselves ;-)

By the way and in case someone does not know it, Phantis was slightly modified when the foreign version was released, aimed mainly at the British market. There Game Over -distributed by Imagine- had been a mass phenomenon, and Electronic Arts -the distributors of this one-, decided that these adjustments were made and that the game was called Game Over II. Money is money, so here we have two versions of the same game, which do nothing but grant us the possibility of contemplating two covers, different characters and some other little changes.

Ranking de Versiones

Cualquiera de las versiones es estupenda. No destacaría ninguna por encima de otra, aunque eso sí...La versión PC, como siempre, no pasa de ser una simple conversión desde los 8 bits (¡que en aquella época ya había tarjetas EGA, hombre!).

¡Ah! Y una curiosidad: la versión para Atari ST sólo se comercializó como Game Over II, y por lo tanto sólo se distribuyó en UK en un principio (creo recordar que después saldría con ese nombre, en algún pack, en nuestro país). Se programó en BASIC y no cosecho muy buenas críticas que digamos.

Nota 16/04/2025: Hemos añadido la conversión a Amstrad PCW realizada por Enrique Gálvez. ¡Gran trabajo!
