Phosphor Dot Fossils: Battleship (Apple II, 1980)
3How much computer power does it really take to do the classic board game justice? The latest addition to Phosphor Dot Fossils might just have the answer: something in the vicinity of 48K, according to the Apple II version of Battleship.
Phosphor Dot Fossils ( http://www.thelogbook.com/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.
