'Just Rewind your tape..."

You lost me.

So was this, like, 1's and 0's printed out onto rolls of scotch tape?
How quaint!

I remember Teddy Ruxpin being just as fiddly to get it to work right.

Wait, anyone even remember those?

I remember putting Michael Jackson tapes into my Teddy Ruxpin and watching his mouth move as I imagined Michael was raping my booty hole.

Thanks for the instructions, Howdy Doody man!

I still use my VCR to record.

Nice. So the only purpose of the tape is to tell the hand-held game which puzzle to load. I remember several VCR based games...and how terrible they were.

Really? Is that cobbled WWII radio grinding out codes making a musical theme?

Yeah... I'm kinda wondering why we needed the VCR at all. Just put the games in the handheld.

I guess you could play Wheel of Fortune on a VCR...in sort of the same way you could play golf in the snow.

Are there really so few 80s announcers that we couldn't find one with two working sets of eye muscles?

Somehow, this sad device seems a bit more interesting than the actual game show.

At 2:12.. did she fart?

How unnecessarily complex that was. So, yeah, the VCR did, um, well, nothing other than tell the handheld unit what puzzle to display (how did it do that? A camera looking at the screen?). And nothing else.

Basically it would seem, from the age of the VCR in the clip, that this was just trying its darndest to cash in on the latest fandangled VCR craze.

The ones that I remember being advertised where... oh, can't remember the name, like DungeonMaster or CryptKeeper or something. You can get it as a DVD game now. But they actually used the video for something I think.

Are you thinking of AtmosFear? Man those games were awesome, you "MAGGOT"!

...I'd like to buy a life...

You got it, yeah, AtmosFear. Never did play it, but man was it heavily advertised when I used to watch cartoons of a morning
