Project Phantasma
is a 1997 third-person shooter mecha video game developed by FromSoftware for the PlayStation. ''Project Phantasma'' is the second entry in the ''Armored Core'' series and a prequel to the original ''Armored Core''. The game was not released in Europe.

The player encounters an escaped prisoner named Sumika, who guides her as the two are targeted by a vicious rival named Stinger. Gameplay is largely identical to ''Armored Core'' with the addition of new weapons and customization options available to the player.

FromSoftware
FromSoftware, Inc. is a Japanese video game development and publishing company based in Tokyo. Founded by Naotoshi Zin in November 1986, the company developed business software before releasing their first video game, ''King's Field'', for the PlayStation in 1994. Its success shifted FromSoftware to focus fully on video games, with them producing two more ''King's Field'' games before creating the mecha combat series ''Armored Core'' (1997), one of their flagship franchises. By the 2000s, the company's lineup also included the ''Echo Night'', ''Shadow Tower'', ''Lost Kingdoms'', ''Otogi'', and ''Another Century's Episode'' series.

PlayStation Link Cable
The PlayStation Link Cable (SCPH-1040) is a peripheral cable for the PlayStation console. Utilizing the serial I/O port found on the back of most PlayStation models, it allows for two consoles to be connected in order to play compatible multiplayer games on separate consoles. It was released during the 1995 Christmas shopping season. The cable is a 12-pin inline serial cable that plugs directly into the back of the PlayStation console and was a fully supported Sony accessory for the market life of the console. Because it was only designed for original PlayStation models, it's not compatible with the redesigned PS one, nor with succeeding PlayStation consoles such as the PlayStation 2. The main advantage to using the cable was that a split-screen wouldn't be necessary for multiplayer, increasing each player's screen size and potentially increasing game performance (as only one view has to be rendered per console). However, the use of this cable requires two televisions, two Pla ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

GameRankings

GameRankings was discontinued in December 2019, with its staff being merged with the similar aggregator Metacritic.

While hundreds of reviews may get listed, only the ones that GameRankings deemed notable were used for the average. Scores were culled from numerous American and European sources. The site used a percentage grade for all reviews in order to be able to calculate an average. However, because not all sites use the same scoring system (some rate out of 5 or 10, while others use a letter grade), GameRankings changed all other types of scores into percentages using a relatively straightforward conversion process. When a game accumulated six total reviews, it w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Europe
Europe is a large peninsula conventionally considered a continent in its own right because of its great physical size and the weight of its history and traditions. Europe is also considered a subcontinent of Eurasia and it is located entirely in the Northern Hemisphere and mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere. Comprising the westernmost peninsulas of Eurasia, it shares the continental landmass of Afro-Eurasia with both Africa and Asia. It is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Mediterranean Sea to the south and Asia to the east. Europe is commonly considered to be separated from Asia by the watershed of the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian Sea, the Greater Caucasus, the Black Sea and the waterways of the Turkish Straits. "Europe" (pp. 68–69); "Asia" (pp. 90–91): "A commonly accepted division between Asia and Europe ... is formed by the Ural Mountains, Ural River, Caspian Sea, Caucasus Mountains, and the Blac ...
