:: Phosphor Dot Fossils ::

Four years in the making! Even if you’ve seen it before at our booth at Tulsa’s OVGE events, you’ve never seen it like this. PDF:DVD successfully debuted at the OEGE event on April 26th in Oklahoma City!

See The Games In Action
Actual video clips of dozens of games in action, from 1971’s “Computer Space” through the dawn of the NES era, accompanied by fascinating game-by-game historical notes. A detailed menu system lets you search year-by-year to jump directly to whichever game you want to see. It’s a “video book” and a celebration of the sights and sounds of video gaming’s history all in one.

Vintage Commercials
This will be the first time you’ve ever been happy to see advertisements on a DVD. Though some of these have been seen as part of previous commercial compilations on VHS, hundreds of hours have been spent on restoring the sound and video to the best quality possible to these gems of pure ’80s bliss, many of which haven’t been seen in over 25 years.

Rare Hardware, Iconic Controllers
From the Magnavox Odyssey’s light gun to the Atari 2600 joystick to Intellivision’s keypads to the Famicom D-pad controllers, see how keeping your fingers on the pulse of the game has evolved. Also glimpse rare hardware such as Adventurevision, Puppy Pong and the pre-2600 Atari console that never hit the stores, along with long-lost specimens of video game toys and memorabilia.

PDF DVDs on display at OEGE.

Phosphor Dot Fossils is a celebration of the evolution and innovation of arcade games, home video games and computer games. If you missed the early all-time greats and haven’t found them for your collection, don’t worry - PDF puts it all at your fingertips, with a fast pace, a retro-circuit-tastic look and an original musical score.

The Specs: NTSC, 4:3 aspect ratio, Approx. 3 hours long

To Clear Up A Misconception: This is a video DVD depicting the timeline of the evolution of video games, and the business decisions, personalities, and marketing thereof. This DVD contains no playable games, no ROMs, and no emulators.

(Note on region coding: I’ve seen one DVD drive show this as a region 1 disc, and several others show it as region 0. So many people have thrown off the region-coding shackles altogether these days that I’m not sure it matters, but be aware that some players and drives may see this as a region 1 disc.)

Quite a few of the 50 OEGE copies are left, complete with hand-written “labels” (i.e. sharpie + non-playing disc surface); future copies will have directly-printed labels.

Prices above are shipping-inclusive.
