- Game-Breaking Bug: A rare example of a Console-Breaking Bug, many of their PS2 discs are so poorly manufactured, a few Redditers and YouTubers have reported them breaking their disk drives due to how fast the disks inside spin."I actually own Animal Soccer World and let me tell you it's a piece of shit. We actually had to get a new PS2 because of it - our first one stopped working after I played it for the first time."note
- Memetic Mutation: Coupled with how atrocious Dingo Pictures' productions were, it didn't take long for the interwebs to make the publisher a subject of ridicule and the butt of countless jokes about low-effort games despite their relative obscurity compared to Stellar Stone's Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing.
- Older Than They Think:
- Despite being most well-known for their PS2 releases, four of them (Seven Clever Boys, Pinoccio, Cinderella, and Peter Pan) actually began life as part of the Familijny CD Romek; Phoenix Games only ported them to the PS2, translated them, and removed content.
- Similarly, at least one of their collaborations with Dingo Pictures was recycled (that being Toys/The Toys Room) and given some minigames, and Legend of Hercules is repackaged from Hercules (Pure Magic).
- Many of their game covers are plagiarized from other sources; this includes the cover for the undeveloped Paccie
◊, which was taken from a raytracing competition long before Phoenix Games was founded.
- So Bad, It's Good: Everything; the choppy animation, the unfitting voice actors, every single thing in their games rightfully earns a spot here.
- Values Dissonance: The depiction of Blackface in Snow White and the Seven Clever Boys which, while not considered offensive in Poland at the time, would naturally earn a far worse reception in the west for obvious reasons. Not helped with the original Polish version naming him Blacky.
