Never released in the '80s, what would Atarisoft's port of Moon Patrol for the Colecovision have looked like? As it turns out, pretty good.

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.
