Phantom: The Lost Gaming Console from 2004

Photos from an id's studio portfolio reveal the Phantom Game Receiver, an ill-fated attempt to penetrate the console-gaming market. Robrady studio boasted that its design helped the company behind the Phantom, then called Infinium Labs, to secure capital through a 2004 IPO. The Phantom was even showcased at the E3 of that year.

poseidon. Your sneaky lol.

The concept will probably be eventually how the industry is. All digital delivery. Its a pioneer and unfortunately lives up to its name in the marketplace as a phantom.

A machine a good ten ten years too soon. Dont forget it, because when console X comes out with only a hard drive and people start crowing over the idea etc etc you can say well its not new, there was this one console talked about ages ago.....

Pc is setting the trend heavily as it is now with digital delivery, with most reports citing at least half of all games delivered online. Its only a matter of time until console follows suit be it 5,10 or 15 years.

Very true. DD is coming sooner than most people think mainstream. Simply for the fact that it will const developers less money to sell their games this way. Cut out the middle man...cut out shipping, packaging and distribution through the normal channels. Saves HUGE money. This is why its coming. It's going to save the game developers money. Plain and simple

Blues Journey is the game I'd like to see.

Pre-ordered mine a few days ago. Love this concept and hope there are more games announced. I can’t justify paying the prices for games that collectors are asking for. It’s the primary reason I own almost every console except the Neo Geo.

I've pre ordered one here in the UK, no games though, as I'll move it on for a higher price. The white model looks awesome, but as expected, the price is too high. We'll probably see more of those all in one cartridges from China containing every AES game. In the UK, AES+ game at £70 ($95) is better than eye watering prices for the originals, but these games are so old and I can honestly say SNK didn't release many classics. The Metal Slug series is the only series I rate, there were just too many Street Fighter clones and not enough scrolling fighting games. Overall, the Neo Geo was poor for all genres apart from one on one fighters. Videos on YouTube asking for games from that console generation to be ported to the AES+, but who'd want to pay £70 for Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter 2? There's a lot of SNK collections out there, the best being Metal Slug Anthology on the PlayStation 2. The Street Fighter Anniversary Collection on the Switch contains 12 games for around £30, instead of £840 if released on the AES+. For collectors, the AES+ is the best news since sliced bread. Are there enough SNK fans out there? Nowhere near. Those £70 cartridges will soon start creeping up in price and it'll be a re-run of the original console.

I always wanted one in the 90's but couldn't afford it. Now i can but i think if i get one it will be collecting dust fast. It's a nostalgia thing i guess.
