VHS was a old recording media, that was most excellant and had distortion at the beginning of film or if you rewinded and paused certain scenes in films :old:

Cassettes were used to record music and you could hold a whole album on one :old:

Both of the above were excellent when they jammed and unwound in device :)

The above is for those who are unsure of terminology for archaic entertainment media of the 1970's and 1980's :old:

 :lol  All True.. But in Ye Old Cave Man days, like the 80's, Video tape was the ONLY Media to record and store..
My old tapes have always been in the shade, cool and dry, so they have survived well.. And I still have a Top of the line VCR, that has clear Frame by Frame.. Get what ya pay for..

Analog, still has some advantages..

If only the porn industry had adopted Betamax .  Betamax was by far a better system that could use Bose  Sound system (better than DTS) I have a friend who works for the BBC and they still use it as it's so good and cheap to use .

No love for Flight of the Intruder?

Truly dreadful pile of excreta. If I remember right there was a farmer at the beginning that capped the navigator with a single shot from an ancient rifle as the Intruder rocketed past. Good drills :old:

Best practice is to wrap your VCR in tin foil in order that the aliens, who are in cahoots with the government aren't able to monitor the kinds of viewing material you choose to watch. I like to keep a spare compact vcr in my bug out bad with a very real looking plastic water pistol hidden in the feed tray for rapid deployment.

I also have a little camouflage outfit for my shoes, should the worst happen :banana:
