i totally blame my sister for this. i hadn't used ebay since 2004 and she asked me to find my nephew a video game and now i'm thinking of random things i want to buy. ebay is totally addictive and evil and i really need to stop.

Careful, the Pheonix game is in PAL format and might not work with your system. Your TV is NTSC not PAL. PAL is for UK TVs.

video games are regional too? surely something from the 80s isn't...

They have to be as they are designed to work on TVs and the TVs in the US and Europe have been different since before video games. So, I really don't think that game will look right on your screen, if it will work at all. At worst, it won't play at all. At best, it'll be fine, but it's likely to either look like playing a PAL tape in an NTSC VCR (which isn't good) or be completley unwatchable.
