Phosphor Dot Fossils: Asteroids (Atari 2600, 1981)
3Do you want the realistic Newtonian physics of the arcade game, or do you want your space rocks to stay in their lane? Phosphor Dot Fossils reveals that Asteroids for the Atari 2600 offers you so many options for your impending space demise.
Phosphor Dot Fossils ( http://www.thelogbook.media/phosphor/ ) is one of the web's oldest archives of vintage console, computer, and arcade games; there was also a 2-DVD documentary of the same name, covering the early history of video games, produced in 2008 and 2009 (now available for download at http://www.thelogbook.com/store/ ). And these days? PDF aims to bring a more laid-back, less-caffeinated, less-profanity-spewing experience to the retro video game longplay video.
