Phosphor Dot Fossils: Jungle Hunt (Apple II, 1984)
2How do you take a dynamic arcade game and reduce it to something less fun? That's the paradox of Atarisoft's port of Jungle Hunt, examined in the latest edition of Phosphor Dot Fossils.
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.
