Infinium Labs has announced that they've signed a whole load of titles for the Phantom:

Infinium Labs and Riverdeep, Inc. today announced a distribution agreement that will allow Infinium Labs to market Riverdeep's extensive catalog of award-winning video games and edutainment software on the Phantom Game System. The titles will be available to subscribers of the PhantomNet -VPGN (Virtual Private Game Network) services on both a pay-per-play and pay-to-own basis.

"The Riverdeep partnership underscores the growing demand for on-demand family entertainment and represents a major step forward in bringing the Phantom Game System to market," said Timothy M. Roberts, President and CEO of Infinium Labs. "We are excited to be working with such an esteemed and diverse publisher as Riverdeep. Their library of games, kids' entertainment, educational and productivity software is tops in its class. We are thrilled to welcome them to the Phantom family," Roberts said.

The agreement covers a wide-range of current titles from Riverdeep's catalog, and includes such beloved brands as Carmen Sandiego, Clue Finders, Reader Rabbit, Zoombinis and Mavis Beacon.

Can't say I dearly love any of those brands. How about you?

[LisaJoy]

just some funny thoughts..
did anyone ever stop and think about what the word "Phantom" means?

it can mean several things, and all are funny when we think about how this thing is going to certainly fall flat on its face

meaning 1: something heard or seen, but has no physical reality
2: something fictitious, nonexistant
3: something hate or despised
4: an image that appears only in mind, an illusion..


I'd say they named it appropriately.

I think that connection has only been brought up a few hundred different times since learning about the "console"s existance.

Looks like Carmen Sandiego has gotten to the Phantom before any consumer even had a glimpse of it.

 

[Jabjabs]

Phanton has the idea, the powerful hardware, the great looking hardware it's just everything else that's their problem... games, cost, money!

Phantom is dead

CARRRMEN SAN DIEEEEGOOOOOOOOO!!!!

"Carmen San Diego just stole the prototype of Phantom, delaying the manufacturing process and therefore the launch of the platform, which will now be launched on - BZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz END OF TRANSMISSION"

Phantom is dead

Yeah, but is that really saying something for a console that hasn't yet lived?

What DOES exist is a Phantom teddy bear and a Phantom coffee cup, and a modded PC Case...
