I recently stumbled across an old VHS tape with 6 hours of TV programming from 1990 that somehow survived without getting taped over in the last 14 years. It's almost entirely Saturday morning cartoons and commercials. It's a real time capsule, as some of the ads are hilariously dated. There are probably 10 commercials for New Kids on the Block paraphenalia!

Anyway, I'm posting this find here is due to the presence of several VG commercials that I have never seen on the web:

-SMS: Sega's "Most Wanted" featuring Alex Kidd in Shinobi World and another game
-SMS: Sega's "Most Wanted" featuring Golden Axe and another game
-NES: Captain Skyhawk commercial
-Genesis: I forget which games
-NES: short preview of the 'new' SMB 3 Adventures cartoon
-Etc. (a couple others I forget)

If these are actually 'Lost' commercials, then I'd be willing to send the tape to somebody who's willing/able to get them up on the net (and then send the tape back to me). If you are interested in doing this, PM or post.

6 hours. Amazing, that must be Extended Playmode, am I right? How's the quality of the video/audio?

If no one else steps up that's closer to you I'd be willing to make the video captures. It's not the best capture device in the world but it's good and better than most video captures you'd find on the internet already. And of course, sending the tape back would be a given.

A sample of a capture I made of CNN during the California recount results:

Of course it had been resized and run through a jpeg filter but you get the general idea.

Yes! Send them to Bratwurst. I must see these commercials. Hell, just for a laugh, do the NKOTB ones too! LOL

Actually, the quality is not bad considering the circumstances. It obviously shows its age, but I had no tracking issues. It ran pretty smoothly.

I sent you a PM Brat.
