Epic music! Epic frogs! An epic game for the 1990s, a decade during which we were also supposed to be setting aside time for Klax! So why does all of this seem so familiar?

Sorry for the gap between Phosphor Dot Fossils videos this month - I have been running into some hardware issues and have been attempting to resolve them without stepping into "I need to buy a newer computer" territory, and yet here we are, staring across the barbed wire fence at the border of "I need to buy a newer computer" territory. I've tried several times recently to record new PDF videos; this one - with its freezing glitches and so on - is the least...worst...attempt. (Does that make sense?) Stay tuned.

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.
