Phosphor Dot Fossils: Vanguard (arcade, 1981)
3What can you, in a small space fighter, do against legions of aliens all bent on stopping you from reaching their inner sanctum? You can keep dropping quarters in, that's what you can do. Phosphor Dot Fossils gives the arcade sleeper hit Vanguard a fresh look. No vans were guarded in the making of this video.
Phosphor Dot Fossils at thelogbook 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. And these days? PDF aims to bring a more laid-back, less-caffeinated, less-profanity-spewing experience to the retro video game longplay video.
