Was this game some kind of knockoff? Actually...no, it was all above board. For other parts of the world. So how did it show up in my local grocery store when I was a kid, and why am I better at this than I am at Donkey Kong?

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.
