Title: The "Phantom" game system...
Post by: Mario Maniac on August 01, 2003, 10:11:55 AM
...I just went to the website www.phantom.net and it seems that the Phantom system is real. The company Infinium Labs is going to unveil it at this year's Ultimate Gamer's Expo (whatever that is).

I could really care less about this Phantom gaming system. It is said to support PC games, other console games, and is able to connect to the internet and download extra games to it's hard drive. Can anyone say "copyright infringement"?

People who like video games should also like Nintendo. People who don''t like Nintendo obviously don''t like video games.

At first, I thought it was a hoax. But, like you, I did research and it does seem true...

That's probably illegal, and it sounds like a system more based on gimmicks than actual substance. other systems of that type have been known to fail miserably.

The world would be a much cleaner place if people would eat their own trash.

Atari, Sega Saturn, Sega GameGear, Sega Dreamcast, 3DO, Nintendo Virtual Boy, etc... All good examples of why systems that have good potential end up failing due to poor marketing and/or crappy software.

Eccentricity is my goal.
