Phosphor Dot Fossils rolls the shuttle back out to the launch pad to (very badly) play Avalon Hill's Shuttle Orbiter on the Atari 2600 for the first time in quite a few years.

(This was recorded before the recent changeover to the "new look", but I didn't want to waste a chance for you to see the worst space shuttle piloting since "Armageddon".)

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.
