Phantom Releases, Retracts Game List, Debut Rated

Posted by simoniker on Tuesday January 13, 2004 @04:49AM from the not-so-phantomic-anymore dept.

Thanks to GameSpot for its story noting that Infinium Labs has released, then quickly retracted a list of game for its Phantom PC-based 'console' shortly following its CES debut. The story notes: "The list featured over 500 titles from 60-plus companies", and the page's new notice, which replaces the old list (Google cache), "urged visitors to return to the site to see a list of games 'pending developer/publisher approval,' which indicates some of the companies on the list [which include Atari and Take Two] may have asked Infinium to remove it." 1UP has also debuted a preview of the Phantom, taken from impressions of a working unit at CES, in which the console is described as "promising and grounded in reality" (though a second editor is " not yet convinced.")

This says it best.

I hate to be one of those people who just posts a link to a relevant comic, but I'm REAL bored at work right now, and I've already read FARK...

It's totally bogus. 3D0 is on the list.

A) Army Men is listed, which is a game from about five years ago.
B) 3D0 went bankrupt last year.

It's just a random bunch of games listed. A load of them are extremely old (Might and Magic I anyone?). Complete fiction.
