'''Phelios''' (フェリオス, literally ''Feriosu''), is a vertical scrolling [[shooter]] arcade game that was released by [[Namco]] in [[1988]] only in Japan; it runs upon Namco System 2 hardware and was never released in the United States due to the "bondage/torture" scenes which were shown between each stage, and were similar to those from the new version of Namco's own [[Rolling Thunder]]. While no nudity is shown, the scenes were still somewhat "strong" to be shown in an arcade game during the early 16-bit era - and the game's score display also gives the illusion of allowing values that do not end in "0", like [[Hopping Mappy]], [[Bakutotsu Kijūtei]], and [[Metal Hawk]] did before it, but the smallest point value it can award to a player for killing an enemy is 10. Like all four older titles it used the Yamaha YM-2151 FM sound chip for its songs - but only like Metal Hawk, it used the C140 custom sound chip for its sound effects and speech (as opposed to PSG and DAC). It also ironically does not feature any Greek text whatsoever.
