My Life in Gaming makes documentaries, deep dives into retro console hardware, and more.
So this is all speculation, but i have a theory about "Rod Soldier". In an interview Tony Hawk admits to doing video editing for Turbo Grafx. It would confirm your "skateboard feel" impressions. ua-cam.com/video/2wv-SppeJCs/v-deo.html
This would be so cool.
Salty Barnickel Nice find! It makes sense.....
CONFIRMED. Tony Hawk made the Rod Soldier video. Source: I asked him. He replied and confirmed.
Holy crap thats so cool.
Game Sack Whaaat?! That's awesome. Where'd you ask him?
"DODGE THE STATACTATAS"
Wil you tell him about my comments on the top and if he likes them also tell him to replie back to me please first replie to me if you are really going to tell him that will you say yes

I used to be the artist for Datel's video game magazine, GBX which came with a VHS tape each issue.
Also in the UK, there was a short lived magazine entirely on VHS tape called "Click!", I've posted both episodes on my Video Game Reviewer archive channel if you ever want to see them! They talk about the upcoming "Super Famicom" in one issue/episode :D
I see you everywhere! I'm running out of Hello You's!
Click is presented by Jake Wood who plays Max Branning in Eastenders.
"N64: Anti-aliasing 4 crisp graphics!"
riiiiiight. lol
that had me laughing too
Logan Jones whats funny is that its true....first generation
The N64 did had antialiasing.
Convert component to super VGA to HDMI or connect directly into led monitor for best quality
The N64 indeed had anti-aliasing and it made the graphics look smudgy and blurry. That's the joke the OP was making
Ah, the 90's. When everything had power, super, and mega in their names.
Máté Zsiros mega super power mistake 3000 or the more user friendly name tim
It's nuts to think that these VHS tapes are sort of a predecessor to Lets Players on youtube.
Daddy DJ, please take me to the party!
Sorry kid, the lights are on
universetwisters As an older, and grumpier gamer, I've never really gotten into the let's play channels. I agree with you that these videos could be considered a predecessor to those channels, the difference being that the modern let's play channels have people trying to be funny the entire video, and I just can't take it. Maybe I'm just an a-hole, but I prefer the channels where they don't talk.
universetwisters p
sometimes you have to find the right person if they are going to talk
Did you make the intro in a vhs like quality? Man you guys really put a lot of effort into your videos. Really underrated channel
Holy shit that is amazing.
How is this channel underrated? Maybe not as popular as it should be, but I dont think anyone underrates it.
only 50,000 subs when reactors and cringe compilers get 10x that much.
I think you're confusing underrated with underappreciated. Plus channels like these are more niche anyways as they get very technical and specific about stuff that really only nerds like you and me care about
STALE MEME I put out daily content I make 100% myself and have a 50th the audience.
The DKC promo tape is.the first one I ever saw and is my personal favorite. I also got it in the mail. To answer your question, the tape was sent to anyone who either subbed to Nintendo Power or filled out the reg card for their SNES.
Damn! I heard the narrator's voice and was like "Holy shit, I know who that is! The guy who narrated the Biff Tannen Museum video in 'Back to the Future'!"
Was Neil Ross. xD
It wasn't Neil Ross in the game tapes. He said so.
23:21 anti-aliasing for crisp graphics
ANTI-ALIASING FOR CRISP GRAPHICS
Fun fact: the Street Fighter arcade segments were filmed at the long-defunct arcade called Yellow Brick Road at the UTC mall in San Diego, CA near La Jolla. If you go there now, the location occupied by the YBR is the Mongolian grill area. I have fond memories of going there every weekend and dumping my entire allowance on the games there. Amazing memories!
Joe Davis thanks for sharing that memory!
Now THAT'S a fun fact indeed :D
Im sorry but... Mr. Neil Ross lied to you sir.
I was going to say that exact same thing. Seems likely that it *IS* his voice and that he simply doesn't want to associate with people he thinks are lower than him, some people are just like that. My opinion, if I liked him in the first place, would quickly turn into thinking he's a bit of a dick.
SmoothEmJay well... his voice is still good?
Yea, maybe he never set foot in North Carolina. He could have had the narration sent to him in Los Angeles or something to do the voice overs. He might have not even known what he was reading for and never saw the video!
Or he could just be denying something he considers embarrassing. But it's not surprising that someone would not remember some voice over work they did 20-30 years back, that may have only consisted of 20 hours of work spread over a year, mixed in with all the other crap they may have done in that time.
Next on 'My Life in Gaming' Coury and Try show you how to RGB mod your VCR and upscale to 1080p through the XRGB-Mini!
is this even possible? I am really curious
Will Lovrak Upscaling to 1080p using the XRGB-Mini Framemeister is perfectly possible, and RGB modding a VCR is *technically* ‘possible’, however it’d be a long and complicated process, and I expect it’d have little effect on the video quality, maybe even reducing it! The problem is that VHS stores composite video, using a strange encoding system that stores the chroma in a weird way, called “Colour-Under”. If you digitise the composite video signal, and then convert that to RGB, (or maybe even use a fully-analogue video converter.) you can output the composite as RGB, but it’d be a stupid thing to do as it wouldn’t improve the picture.
@@justanotheryoutubechannel Didn't vhs supported s video? And how can composite display rgb if they are mutually exclusive signals?
Are you able to upload the digital VHS transfers to a Google Drive or somewhere where we can download them?
Not the raw files, but you can watch all the tapes here: ua-cam.com/users/VideogameBRoll
Then use a program like clipgrab to download them
My Life in Gaming If it’s been deinterlaced then it kinda sucks as the picture quality is permanently degraded and even when watching them on a CRT that natively supports interlaced video you get a worse experience than when watching directly from the tape.
Hey guys, can you please give me a couple of tips on how to convert my VHS and S-VHS tapes to MP4 (if that's the best one).
I have roughly 150 tapes from the mid 80's to around 1992 full of video game news, CES clips, video game commercials, and even the full 2 seasons of GPTV. I also have promotional game tapes, including some Philips CD-i tapes, some of which were never publicly , as well as many video game preview kiosk tapes from when managing a Babbage's store in the mid-90's.
I'd love to share some of this, but want the quality to be the best possible (within a budget).
I guess the main things I need advice on are:
1. Which device should I use to capture video from a JVC S-VHS deck?
2. Which resolution should I capture at? I've heard everything from capturing it at twice the native resolution, to calturing at full 1080p so that it will look better on UA-cam.
3. Which program should I use to capture it?
4. Should I de-interlace the video?
Thanks in advance!
[Coury] I want to see all this stuff so bad. I used a consumer level Samsung DVD/VCR combo that upscales nicely and outputs over HDMI at 1080p. Capturing at 60fps is kind of the big key to it though. Any capture device will work, generally.
In terms of S-VHS, Try got a player at a medical warehouse when we got some PVMs last summer. It has BNC out and is pretty nice. Unfortunately, I'm pretty unsure of consumer level S-VHS decks.
Imma try my hand at this if you don't mind +My Life in Gaming
1. Some of the very best capture cards are the Micomsoft X-Capture 1 and the Startech USB3HDCAP. However they might be overkill since you pay for RGB capability. I think you'd have great results with a Startech SVID2USB2 which will be cheaper. Startech makes nice quality gear and I've seen good looking captures on youtube with that card.
2. Some prefer to upscale SD video before capture. Some prefer to capture in 480i and upscale after in software. I do the latter. I allows me to experiment with different scaling algorythms plus I have the capture at original res as backup, which can be fun to look at and mess with. But you'll also have great results by upscaling before capture. To do this you'll need an upscaler in the chain. The DVDO processors should be great for this. (Iscan HD, VP30, VP50). It will save you time since you won't have to upscale in software after, but then again the capture process will be longer this way, since the upscaled capture files will be much larger then the 480i capture files would. It's up to you which method you choose.
3. usually the card comes with a capture software so you can use that. I personally use AmarecTV. Some people use OBS.
4. Once captured, you should open the videos in a video editing and encoding software. I use VirtualDub after someone knowlegeable recommended it to me and am happy with it. Then add two processing steps in your rendering chain : "deinterlace" to get 480p, and then "scaling" to, well, upscale. For UA-cam, either upscale to 1280x720p60 or 1920x1080p60. The latter will take alot more time to process, so I would personnally go with 720p.
(of course if you have a DVDO processor then you can skip all that, as you'll have a file that's already deinterlaced and upscaled. The capture step will take longer though).
*another option is to use a DVR. THose have video inputs and some of them have pretty good deinterlacing and upscaling chips. I don't think it will look as crisp as what I suggested above but, hey it's another option, and it can still look pretty nice.
Once you'll have everything and are ready to go, don't hesitate to write to me before starting, there's a couple other things you'll need to know to get the very best results :)
+FinalBaton +My Life in Gaming
Thanks guys, I appreciate the input. I'm keeping notes on everything.
I guess I should have mentioned a couple of other things.
I only have laptops to work with now. So capture cards per se are kind of out. I was hoping for either a USB input type solution or a standalone box (Elgato HD64 for example), but the latter seems to be mostly for HDMI input so I guess that is out.
I do actually have an older Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick USB2 HDTV, which comes with a dongle for Svideo and composite input. Connection wise it seems like a perfect match for the output on my JVC S-VHS deck, but is this too dated to yield decent results?
I think I'd like to capture it at either 1080p or 720p just to make sure it looks decent on most devices that play it back, which will be most likely HD. I'm just not sure about interlacing. I made some DVDs from VHS home movies a while back on a DVD-Video Recorder. I wasn't happy with it and returned it, but only after converting my home movies. The thing I hated about it was the severe interlacing issues. Some programs like VLC have the option to remove them on playback, but I'd like to tackle that issue in the encoding phase.
Also, I assume H.264 is the way to go these days?
Oh and my allowed budget isn't too high. Maybe $200, if I need to buy a new encoder.
I am a bit of a stickler for quality, but really, these are VHS and S-VHS tapes we're dealing with. Not something I can pour a lot of cash into at this time.
Thanks again guys.
-Matt/VGO
When I say "cards" I actually mean USB plugged stuff! All the stuff I mentionned in my first paragraph are USB devices.
And yes, the H264 codec is still the best
Awesome!
Thanks again.
I need a new laptop too... technology is a pricey game. ;)
I'm going to try and get started, or at least start buying some of this in the Summer.
Thanks again.
Really, it's no wonder the Sega Saturn flopped stateside. They were probably better off just dubbing over the Segata Sanshiro commercials they had in Japan.
In germany we had his N64 promo tape ua-cam.com/video/ycP-q4OIFko/v-deo.html titled "how much 3d do you take?"
A good friend of mine and I were picking up a few of these, back then and used them to record our own stuff on them :3 The tape quality was really good and the recordings are still in great condition. So Nintendo didn't use some C-grade tape stock but actual good tapes. I still have one tape with the original content and plan to digitize it with my Canopus DV capturing box soon.
that Sega Saturn commercial was so demonically cult like
That absolutely IS Neil Ross.
Either he lied to you, or it was just such a mundane job to him that he either forgot all about it, or for whatever reason just refuses to acknowledge it, but that is absolutely him. It's also entirely possible that the title of the videos was never made clear to him, or that all his lines were recorded at home or at a local studio where he was and sent over by someone else which would also explain why he has no memory of these things, exactly the way he phrased it to you. Remember, to him, it was just a one-and-done job a long time ago. It makes perfect sense he either might not remember OR might not care.
But there is no voice impersonator alive that can copy a voice EXACTLY, only to come reasonably close with training. And definitely not a voice as distinctive as that.. Because no two vocal chords are exactly the same and it doesn't take a spectrum analyzer to tell that IS him, beyond a shadow of a doubt. These are old videos, so either he truly has no memory of a job he did quickly and then forgot about, or it was a bad experience to the point where he lied to you flat-out because he was for some reason, possibly ashamed.
Also the lead you were given lined up so well with him, that it's an impossible coincidence.
You found him, and this story is over. Be certain of that.
Also, he definitely was the narrator for Robotech, as well.
Same guy, same voice, though i'm sure he might possibly deny that, too.
Yeah I agree as well, that voice I instantly recognized from the Rogue Squadron games. Looked it up, Neil Ross.
100% him.
I agree with you, that sounds like him 100%. I wonder why he's denying that he did the work? In any case, it's cool to know who it was nonetheless.
I don't think he'd be that ashamed of just some old video game VHS tapes.
Im pretty sure i remember getting a vhs for donkey kong 64 and the vhs was yellow or something. I was like 10
Even if the Game Player's tapes don't actually feature Neil Ross, it'd be neat to get him anyway to do an homage to those old tapes. He's VERY close.
I had a cringy "how to play Pokemon" VHS that I found in an Oshkosh Bgosh just lying on the floor. There was a part where they had parents on to teach them and one said "you sunk my Pokemon!"
The Diddy Kong Racing VHS will always be the best one though, hands down.
I remember getting that Diddy Kong VHS somehow, but I never had a NP subscription.
Man, I wish I still had the SNES VHS tape Nintendo sent me back in the 90's. It was so HYPE!
Im so glad I grew up in this generation. Everything was so new and exciting!
"anti-aliasing for crisp graphics" so much cringe.
This is the greatest episode you guys ever did.. PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE TYPE OF SHOWS. The editing, style, subject Matter, videos is truly the best I ever seen. Please keep don't ever stop making these.
Shoot at all enemies on screen whilst simultaneously dodging attacks. Never let your energy come down to zero. Defeat the stage boss and guess what? You did it! You won the game!
I do not miss VHS at all lol I hated VHS so much, but maybe thats bc it did eat my fav tape at the time.
Most likely. As long as you cleaned the tape player and looked over everything (and most importantly have a decent machine), then it can look good. VHS pretty much died because of it back then
I still have that DK Crystal Coconut cartoon tape, but I recorded over it with episodes of Check it out with Dr. Steve Brule.
If Neil Ross had been the right guy, presumably the videos would have been on his imdb profile.
When I first got a DVD player, I actually loved how clean it looked. But now I like that nostalgic look that VHS tapes have. Although my big problem with them is that, at least for movies, they're more often than not in the wrong aspect ratio. And they're not enhanced for widescreen TVs.
You can always record on blank VHS tapes
3:20 - TMNT "The party wagon is the only way to travel"
Sounds like my kind of party!
A neat little tidbit...the kid with the backwards hat in the N64 promo is the game tester from the DKC promo.
wow, I didn't think I would watch an almost hour long video about VHS promotional tapes from the 90's
Great video!
We watched that Donkey Kong Exposed video so much. It came as a cover mount with the Nintendo magazine in the U.K. My mum thought it was porno.
As bad as the DKC VHS was, I love the way Killer Instinct was sneak-peeked at the end.
Great episode as usual. 33:50 there is one more tape that Nintendo sent out, it was a Majora's Mask promotional tape. I remember it being the reason why I bought Majora's Mask back in the day.
Here is a link to a vidua-cam.com/video/nTSPv2nrYjY/v-deo.htmleo about it:
The narrator in the power glove video just flat out lying about how the power glove helps people win games is hilarious.
30:46 I actually found that Banjo Kazooie VHS tape while thrift shopping once. They were asking $15 for it though.
Man, this brings back memories, not because I used to watch any of these vhs tapes, but because I actually used to record all my playthroughs once I perfected a game and sold them at school.
They were quite popular with kids who didnt have the game or the console able to experience the game for themselves.
I'd get advice and requests from people on how to tackle/approach a game the next time Id make a recording some kids even coming around to my house to pitch in with player 2 on local co-op games, it became a sort of community and discussion during breaks at school too.
The money I made from selling the tapes would go towards the next game I could go and purchase.
Ah good times.
6:34 Paging Jim Sterling, paging Jim Sterling! We have found Street Fighter Pogs! I repeat: We have found Street Fighter Pogs!
Before the Internet? There was Internet in the '80s and '90s! It was just shitty dial-up. Unless you had multiple phone lines, you had to use the same phone line for both calling people and going online.
I'm a big fan of collecting these old video game VHS tapes. especially the Nintendo ones.
Had the @15:30 tape. Awesome to see it again on here. Thanks! It was at my video store as well! I remember Don Nauret. Not as cool as Duane though!
I have a large stack of VHS players, a D-VHS player, laserdisc players, and hundreds of tapes. I think I'm addicted, it's not a space saving hobby which sucks but still.
There is just something about putting on a vhs tape and watching it on a old CRT TV. Still the only way I watch Christmas movies. Nostalgia is one of the most powerful drugs
Same here, man. I keep a stack of VHS Decks (multiple versions of the same deck that i'm using, so I never run out of spare parts so fast). I think the worst space consumer of all are good CRT TVs :P But it's worth it.
Vhs...beta...specially the first release with a big boxes,I try to complete my favorites early movies back then.
Evil dead,Goonies,Return.of the living dead,Beetlejuice,Splash,E.T...
Like video games.
0:09- FUCK YEAH! TERMINATOR!
[Coury] T2 is my favorite movie of all time. I've had this tape for years, so I had to show it.
My Life in Gaming T2 isn't my favorite movie ever, but it's pretty high on the list, and definitely my favorite Terminator movie.
I loved T2 as a kid and still do, but as an adult now I find young John Connor to be a lot more annoying, but annoying in almost in a nostalgic way as the annoying parts come from him trying to be a radical edgey 90's tween.
i love those Videos. I only have 2. One for the N64 and one Store Promotion Tape for Ocarina of Time :)
This video is so comfy, great stuff!
I had that DKC tape. I was a Nintendo Power subscriber at the time though, so I guess it didn't come out of nowhere.
'dodge the statactitas' and 'imagine the power you'll have' were red hot schoolyard protomemes back in my day
I miss those 90s hip kids
OOOh I was hoping this was a ActionMax (WOW) review :-(
"You're kinda losing it dude!" XD 19:55
I do love a good VHS, they are incredibly nostalgic and -sexy- awesome. Interestingly, you always hear people saying they look terrible, but on a CRT display they still look pretty awesome. I’ve only ever watched one (aside from our childhood 28-inch Trinitron which I don’t really remember) of a crappy 14-inch Shadow Masker, (with built in VHS player!) but they really do look amazing on there, none of the washed out colour and blurry video you can see on an LCD.
I’ve recently acquired a beautifully *SEXY* Sony KV-21X5U Trinitron CRT, and the video is mindblowingly bright, colourful, and sharp. I seriously love it. However, until I can get our family’s old Sony VHS player from the loft I won’t be able to watch any on it, but I expect they’ll be pretty stunning. The larger screen size will probably reveal some issues with the video I couldn’t see on my old 14-inch CRT, but the picture quality improvements of the Trinitron will likely make them look better than my old CRT could show.
What would you say is the best program to clean up old fuzzy, shaky, and interlaced video?
+Chaos Generator [Coury] I just used my Avermedia RECentral program. I have a DVD/vcr combo that outputs an upscaled 1080p image over hdmi. Capture that at 60 fps.
That's awesome to know. I have done research on this and all I can find is the Stoik Video Enhancer which does a good enough job but is scarce in the options department. Thanks for the reply, man.
If you don't wanna spend anything, use Virtual Dub. There's tons of good filters for it which makes this program a swiss army knife of video tools. And it's open source as well as freeware.
Thanks for the tip Kraftwerk. I downloaded it and like what I am seeing. Cost isn't an issue to me but free is always better if it comes without sacrificing quality. I am working on a documentary that consists of lots of old footage that needs a facelift but need the proper tool-set that does justice to the vision. I appreciate it.
You're welcome :) It's still my favorite tool when it comes to such jobs. Have been using it a lot in the past to crop videos, give them some effects, swap fields and especially for framerate conversions and transcoding. At first it was a bit unusual but it's actually very useful once you know how to use it. I even used it to put videos together and cut out a few things and also separating video and sound and try some Effects. I started to really appreciate the MSU filter pack. So i'm pretty sure you'll do a lot of work with this powerful little piece of software :)
Love seeing the new videos from MLiG, I like the longer ones that include so much details. Keep em up!!!
13:45 it's to bad for NA Sega Saturn if olny we had Segata Sanshiro
come early :(
Oh man, that Star Fox 64 VHS with the SEGA and Sony representatives stealing the Nintendo employee who *parachuted in,* and then later Bob, is amazing! I love how silly it is, with a Mario doll being tortured and fake Pizza guys, that’s hilarious!
If you need me to clean your video tapes, I'm your man. I use an RTI TapeChek 470.
I really like the way you guys lowered the intro quality to match that of a VHS tape. Nice touch.
I swear, long MLiG videos are like the Christmas of my adulthood.
EDIT: Also, nice touch making the intro look like an actual VHS, 4:3 and everything.
"It's my favorite game. Ever since my baby was born that's all I do..." LOL
I had that Banjo Kazooie tape too. Was cool to hear some Hollywood talent (Jon Lovitz) doing voice work.
Oh my god that Sony Watchman and portable CRT looks awesome behind Try looks awesome! The other CRT looks pretty cool too, but leaving it on like that isn’t good for the tube, it’ll wear out!
19:43 You're kinda losin it dude LOL
"All these games work really well with the Power Glove!"
Cue JJJ laugh.
"The colours and graphics are excellent!"
Made me laugh. :)
Man that colour effect looks terrible. I thought maybe it was filmed digitally using only a few colours which caused it to suffer colour banding and then converted to analogue.
"All these Games work really well with the Power Glove"
-Lies
The mystery narrator from the Game Players Gametapes videos could be Danny Delk who was the uncredited narrator for Star Wars Rogue Squadron on the N64. It sounded familiar right away - in SWRS the narration is a bit deeper and serious but it could well be the same guy especially considering the time frame fits and that SWRS was released in 1998 which is the same year Game Players Gametapes ended. Interestingly Neil Ross also voiced in SWRS... You can listen yourself in ua-cam.com/video/TXuIA1jqqJI/v-deo.html
Hey! My tips were legit! They saved gamers lives. :) However thanks for featuring my tapes in your video! :)
Nice video, guys, I always enjoy these old relics getting some more exposure. There are 16 Game Player's Game Tapes actually, 2 included Nintendo games and were cease and desisted quickly, but the tapes are out there. Most of the tapes mentioned can be seen on my other channel, RetroReality as well if you wanted to see what some of those mystery tapes looked like..
ua-cam.com/play/PLE34B1A83830F80DD.html
[Coury] Oh! For some reason I thought that the 14th tape was the one that was hard to find and barely exists.
On a side note, your channel is Retro Reality? I'm a huge fan of RR and have been subscribed for years now. Just a huge treasure trove of stuff. Thanks for doing what you do!
Thanks! 60fps VHS ripping is pretty good, I had been deinterlacing my material with drop field (for 240p centric content) or blend (for 480i) but I think your technique looks better.
Additionally, since you guys are recording on better equipment than I am perhaps we could work something out to where I could loan my media to you so you can put superior versions on VideoGameBRoll. As long as the content can be viewed better, I'm all for it.
I'd absolutely be into that. Shoot an email to me at mylifeinvideogames@gmail.com and lets talk about it. So glad you showed up here - RR hadn't had an update in awhile so I didn't know what happened. That probably has more to do with running out of material anyway.
The QTGMC scripts for AviSynth are your friend here. Needs a hefty CPU to chew thru the video in a reasonable amount of time, but the end result is worth it. Also helps that you have a decent S-VHS VCR with a built-in TBC.
I won't lie... those Turbo Grafx 16 commercials made me want one. Like, right now!
"All these games work really well with the Power Glove. Watch how our expert player uses the Power Glove to help him win".
Who produced these facts about the Power Glove, Donald Trump?
I got the same Donkey Kong Country tape in the mail and i used to watch it all the time until my birthday when i got my first SNES with DKC as the pack in game. I really wish i still had the tape and that original SNES with the box...=(
Pro tip : the 1 other person that has that type of voice out ther
and hint : HE host a very WELL know Game Show.. that Stars
With a J....
well thats my guess anyway :3
14:07 what the people at Sega said to the dreamcast before launch.
Off topical a little. Sorry. Would a PVM with only S-Video and Comp support still be a good alternative to a CRT with RGB?
The production value of this channel is outstanding.
Oh my god, you guys, this is the best video I've seen on UA-cam in months. So awesome...takes me back to the good old days. Thank you!!
DSP once finished fourth in an international Tiger Handheld Street Fighter 2 tournament. Okay. Alright, thats the bottom line. Snort
i'd expect no less of him.
I totally remember the DKC video. Pretty sure my brother rented it along with the game from Blockbuster.
electronic gaming monthly was my magazine of choice and my favorite gaming TV show was x play on tech TV.
Sorry for all the comment spam. I just really love video game promo tapes. lol
haha i stilll have my Street Fighter II Championship Editon VHS tape. the most 90s thing ever lmao
tiger games were what we settled for when mom would not get us a gameboy game haha. It was always a let down.. ALWAYS!
ive never cringed this hard
Wow, seeing Ken Lobb talk about Game OSTs on CD is just fascinating. I owned the same DKC VHS Tape, so it's weird to think that years later I'm still following the man in his KI endeavors. Small world.
How did you capture these tapes? I would love to record some myself. Can you give me a short tutorial?
Can you guys please send me an autographed picture of Try? I'm dying of Omega Super AIDS and it would give me a reason to keep on fighting.
i remember making jokse to a high school friend that was (at the time) a 16 year old version of the dude on the Street Fighter tapes, he not only looked like him, also his mouth moved identically to him every time he speaked, LOL.
I'm new and i think this show is cabe quality. I love it ! i'm only 5 minutes in this video and you guys are just awesome. keep up the good work hopefully you'll get over 100k subs
I really regret throwing away my Lords of Thunder, DKC, and FF VII promo tapes.
DAMN!
i just found the promo VHS for the MegaCD launch!
The first Turbo Grafx video tape you showed I remember seeing it in a toy r us kiosk when I was a kid. It had the only footage of Castlevania rondo of blood I ever saw at the time.
Man, what a nostalgic episode. I had many of the Nintendo VHS tapes, rented a couple of the third-party strategy tapes, and even came across that Lords of Thunder tape as well (talk about so bad it's good!). I didn't even know some of them existed though despite being a Nintendo Power subscriber myself, like the Yoshi's Island tape for instance.
I love this so much! You're totally right, the nostalgia and value in these old VHS tapes is off the charts. I still remember watching that Street Fighter 2 mail-out video although watching it back now the kids reactions are so obviously fake that it's hilarious! 😄
PLEASE make more of these videos if you have more content!
The "Steve Harris" part at the 15 minute, 45 second mark in made me instantly think of Iron Maiden. Now I got Powerslave stuck in my head.
Ha ha! Me too! So I logged in just to post the question "Is it THE Steve Harris". Do you get the joke? =D
DinoMosh First two albums> powerslave.
*Neil Ross wikipedia page*
From 1989-1990, he was the announcer for Signal Research's _Game Player's Gametape_ VHS series, which was a home video counterpart of the defunct magazine publication of the same name.
well .. that's weird that Neil Ross doesn't remember anything about that
it really sounds like him.
Somebody should ask *Chris Slate* (former magazine Editor in Chief) if he remembers anything

That's obviously him. He just killed a hooker or something in NC and he's afraid he may incriminate himself.

That citation-lacking information has since been removed from his article.
Those videos with the US National Videogame Team were my jam as a kid. And Donn Nauert went on to work for THQ and produce a bunch of wrestling games!
