Phosphor Dot Fossils: Congo Bongo (Atari 2600, 1983)
6Congo Bongo returns on the Atari 2600, and despite the many misgivings that arose from when its distant cousin Zaxxon was ported to the same platform, it turns out to be fun. And colorful. There are even colorful hippos and flickering monkeys. This is my kinda game, frankly.
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.
