Phosphor Dot Fossils skips ahead a year in the life of its fictional space program with the 1985 Apple II cult classic, Project Space Station, promptly runs into major technical difficulties, and detours briefly into the 1985 Commodore 64 cult classic, Project Space Station. Think of this as the "Mirror, Mirror" episode of PDF's Project Space Station longplay.

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.
