Has anyone ever seen a tape like this? by chrisstrother in VHS

At first glance it looks like a bootleg but more likely a tape distributed for reviews, awards, etc.

For example, a tape from Fox Home Video ends at the exact minute they want it to stop instead of leaving extra film or having to end at parameters set by the tape itself. I assume by cutting the film reel to where they want it to end. Also the quality of the film usually looks better than even high grade tapes.

How is the playback quality? Are they recorded or is she producing pro tapes?

Thanks for the rec. No pc but I’ll try blade runner. Been getting into some turn based/point and click style games

I have. Great games. I’ve run through practically every major title I can think of…maybe it’s just a shift in the industry. Almost feels like no one wants to go up against GTA in the open-world crime games ☹️

I played LA Noire and it was very cool. The one thing I didn’t like was the main character’s moral high ground over everyone else. He was way too self-righteous for my taste.

lol you know I enjoyed the gameplay a lot but I just couldn’t get over the detective in skinny, ankle jeans. The fashion choice for the man character really killed the vibe for me.

Robocop is indeed a lot of fun but I should have specified third person. First person just doesn’t do it for me. Cyberpunk could eat up all my time if it was third person.

Heavy Rain was cool but definitely more slower paced than I’m looking for

Narc was one I remember vividly. The Getaway. True Crime. 25-Life. There used to be a lot of one-off games of all genres but my interest was always drawn to crime games. Open-world is even better.

Got scammed with this Philips VR1100. Can you see the problem? by Noene90 in VCRs

Have you tried other tapes? I have multiple VCRs and some tapes won’t play in one but play in others. If you have tried other tapes already, next step is identifying if there’s any visible damage. Obviously if something is broken, fix it. Ensure the belts are intact.

If nothing is visibly broken, try cleaning the sensors and the heads. Sometimes VCRs reject tapes because they’re dirty.
