Phosphor Dot Fossils goes back in time, not just for the game, but for the rainbow trout and the epic sunburn and the rest of a fishing trip spent in an arcade saving the girl from gorillas and pirates and natives who all seem to be in cahoots. Meet my favorite arcade game of all time! Since pirates are involved, Pirate Porg tags along.

You can hear more about the story of the fateful (and, it's gotta be said, painful) trip to Gaston's in the first Select Game Podcast Christmas special here: http://www.thelogbook.com/selectgame/2016/12/21/11x-christmas-special/ ...I'll eventually play "Eyes" and "Warp Warp" too, so let's call this the first part of the Gaston's Trilogy.

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.
