Phantom 2040
Viacom New Media
Phantom 2040 is a side-scrolling action-adventure
video game developed by Hearst Entertainment
and published by Viacom New Media in 1995 for
the Super Nintendo. The game follows primarily
side-scrolling action elements. At several points in
the storyline, players can make a direct choice
about which path they take (in each case, the paths
reconvene at the next chapter). Every choice the
player makes results in a unique ending, meaning
over 20 different endings are available.
A select few endings are classified as successful
endings, while all others result in negative
outcomes for the city of Metropia. Phantom 2040
has a heavy emphasis on exploration. It is up to the
player to locate the area's objective or exit, and
every area offers optional areas with restoration
kits or weapon upgrades
