Phosphor Dot Fossils celebrates New Horizons' approach to Ultima Thule by revisiting Ultima. Makes perfect sense, no? From the darkest dungeons to deepest space? Except I never made it to deepest space because I was fighting too many giant rats and guys who looked like Strong Bad in a bathrobe.

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.
