Phosphor Dot Fossils: Pick Axe Pete (Odyssey2/Videopac, 1982)
It's time to circle back and give video coverage to some of the games already covered in the Select Game podcast, so we might as well start with the very best - Pick Axe Pete, master of the Misty Mountain Mine!

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.
