Are you certain it isn't called Phoenix Home Office Environment?

The screenshot on Internet Archive to seems to match the one in your clipping. (The computer might be different, on closer look hmm)

According to this article in PC Magazine (possibly the same issue, even), PHOE is what would be preinstalled on Micron computers.

(edit - In fact if you zoom in on the screenshot in your post, you can see it mentions Phoenix Home Office Environment in a white tool tip :) )

That's 100% it. I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I have been searching and somehow never found it, even though it's been on Archive.org for three YEARS!

Even recently I tracked down a guy who used to work for Phoenix and remembered it, but had no idea if a copy still existed.

It's interesting how it apparently was customized a bit for Siemens and Micron, as there are subtle graphical differences between the two. Makes total sense give the product, I just had no idea it was used by other manufacturers.

I distinctly remember the Micron version pictured including the bookshelf for launching Day of the Tentacle, Rebel Assault, Encarta 94, etc, and digging through the ini file it looks easy to customize. Though there was a voice that would say something like "Click here to play Day of the Tentacle" when you hovered over the corresponding book.

This is absolutely amazing, I can't wait to dig in. A monumental day! Thank you so much!

Alright! You're very welcome :) enjoy yourself

This (ini / usr) file still exists on the Micron file archive - https://web.archive.org/web/19961110230027/ht … aneous/phoe.zip

"INI and USR file for Phoenix Home Office. Has AOL and CompuServe games."

Amazing find!

Downloaded the file, and bingo, the INI is exactly like the one in the Micron picture. Not sure what the USR file does, but will test it out.

Now to find the art and sound and we're complete.

Thanks to you both!
