Here's a fun one—an official Konami-published video tape of the Contra arcade game. If you couldn't afford to own an arcade cabinet back in the day (and whomst amongst us could, really?), you could have the next best thing in the form of a video tape that shows you the whole game. I love things like this. It's absolutely wild to me to think that people were spending real cash money on this kind of thing. The bubble era, man.

Contra: Original Game BGV VHS Rip [4K]

An ultra-high-definition copy of a vintage VHS tape featuring superplay footage of the arcade version of Contra. Includes both single- and multiplayer, for completeness. This is an official Konami product, released in Japan during the 1980s. Recorded from a JVC VHS deck and upscaled via RetroTink 4K. Please feel free to use excerpts from this tape for you own projects (and please credit my channel as the source, if you'd be so kind).
