Most lunar lander games just ask you to fly to the surface of the moon and land. But only the Game Boy edition of Lunar Lander also asks you to fly a...space shuttle?...to the moon...land...and then dig up flowers. And avoid robots. You'd think Walter Cronkite would've had something to say about the flowers and robots, really.

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.
